Saturday's bird walk was great for flycatchers - Scissor-tailed and Couch's along the tram road, and a mix of Tropical and Couch's on the far south side. For decent views of a Great Kiskadee, however, we headed for the Ebony Deck. White-tailed Kites did two flyovers, but didn't stick around for long. The Hunter's Lane resaca is low and developing a nice mud flat. This is where all the waders and shorebirds were found.
