The morning started out slow and chilly. The best find was a small flock
of startled Scissor-tailed Flycatchers that had roosted near the Ebony
Deck. (Yesterday we saw over 100 on the wires along New Carmen just out of
the park.)
Later in the day the sun was out and Black-throated Green Warblers were
seen in good numbers. Orange-crowned are definitely back. House Wrens,
too, and after seeing so few last winter the wrens are a welcome sight. A
few new ducks were seen at the Kiskadee Deck. Overhead we heard and saw
our FOF Sandhill Cranes.
