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.
