A Harris's Hawk was relentlessly heckled by kingbirds near the east end of
Quail Loop this morning. While I watched the aerial acrobats, a Bewick's
Wren popped up and started singing.
More Northern Bobwhite were calling, at full volume and through a wider
area, than I have heard in this park. Apparently they are having an
excellent year!
Also of interest, a Clay-colored Thrush was singing along Bobcat Trail.
