It was a beautiful morning of birding - the weather nearly felt like fall,
with a cool breeze and everything! Clay-colored Thrushes continue to be
easily seen, feeding young and feasting on anacua berries.
One of our Common Pauraques made an appearance back along Bougainvillea
Lane again this morning - they move from spot to spot in the park it seems.
All the regular residents were active, and a lone Long-billed Curlew
whistled mournfully as a flyover (they forage on the adjacent golf course).
Not many migrant birds to speak of. Full list below.
