Hi, all!
 
That was the big news:  he's singing away, and pretty easy to  find.  When 
you enter the park, go straight through the four-way stop, and  he's been 
hanging out on "this" side of the terra cotta restroom with the park  rules 
posted on it.  I first heard him from the boat ramp, actually, and  could 
still hear him on that back road paralleling the levee, so he's pretty  loud!  
Had a couple of House Finches there, too, along the road that you'd  be on if 
you were driving down the levee hump from the back area.  Other  nice birds 
in the park included the resident Beardless Tyrannulet, tons of  egrets and 
Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, the Black Phoebe pair, a ghostly  
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher with an overgrown bill, and an Osprey.
 
The most interesting thing along Old Military Hwy (besides the Bullock's  
Oriole at the entrance to Bentsen) was a Pearl Cockatiel!  An adult  
Swainson's Hawk near the Lomita Mission was nice, and back at the Butterfly  
Center 
had the usual suspects including a confiding Long-billed Thrasher and  
Clay-colored Thrush, plus pretty Zebra Heliconians (dipped on the Silver  
Emperor, but Tawnies were out the yin yang).  
 
Ended with an even 60 species for the morning.  Pictures and  recordings 
are posted here:
