Friday's eBird list is below. Additions to the list from this
morning's morning bird walk are Green Kingfisher at the first bridge,
Roseate Spoonbill and Greater Yellowlegs at the Hunter's Lane Resaca. Of
note are migrating empids, the number of newly fledged residents, and our
FOF Blue-gray Gnatchatcher in the same tree as a Black-&-white Warbler.
The south end of the park remains the best place to find Painted Buntings,
Bewick's Wrens, Orchard Orioles and White-tailed Kites.
