Had a well-rounded bird list this morning over at Quinta Mazatlan. Lots of
raptors: Coopers Hawk, Northern Harrier, Harris's Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk,
American Kestrel, and Osprey. Also had a nice mixed group of warblers, with
American Redstarts,
Common Yellowthroats, Magnolia, Nashville, Orange-crowned, and an
early Yellow-rumped Warbler. Lots of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers flying overhead
all morning as well. Full list below.
