Best surprise - three Orchard Orioles; an adult male, first summer male,
and a female. In the dry resaca bed (recently cleared of grass and brush)
there is a lot of chachalaca activity. Brown-crested Flycatchers are
everywhere, with lots of family chatter and activity.
Yesterday a FOS Painted Bunting was reported at the Visitor Center water
feature, which has plenty of fresh water to attract wildlife and a shaded
bench for wildlife viewing.
The park anticipates water flooding the first section of the resaca next
week, now that maintenance work has been completed. If all goes as planned
there should be water by the weekend.
