The Saturday bird walk began with a flock of Green Jays mobbing the top of
a small Ebony tree. A couple Great-tailed Grackles were getting in on the
action as well, with all birds focused on old nests at the top of the
Ebony. Eventually one sharp-eyed birder discovered the suspected Eastern
Screech-Owl huddled against the twigs and blending quite well. We found
some nice warblers in the parking area trees, but only had the briefest
glimpse of one of the Tropical Parulas. One Blue-headed Vireos landed
several feet in front of us, intent on catching a large insect. A juvenile
Gray Hawk did a couple flyovers farther out in the park.
