The warblers we saw this morning, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat,
Orange-crowned and Yellow, are different from yesterday
afternoon's Black-throated Gray, Black-throated Green and Nashville.
All resaca views now have fairly low water levels and egrets and Ibis can
be found throughout. The smaller waders and shorebirds are all found in
the Hunter's Lane resaca. Most of the grebes we're seeing are at the
second bridge.
Clay-colored Thrush have been active near the first bridge.
