After a rainy but busy Saturday morning indoors, I decided to get out for a
few hours on Sunday.  Several warblers, Nashville and Black-&-white, were
in the parking island trees - often an active area.  Water birds were all
at the Hunter's Lane resaca, with a colorful Roseate Spoonbill in with the
White Ibis and a Green Kingfisher working the closest pool.
Around 11:30 this morning water started flowing into the resaca from the
north end (Ebony Deck) and should continue moving for a day or two.
