It started off mostly clear, cool, and calm, turning warm, and a little windy on the bird survey today. 71 species were found. The Passerines were active today and I encountered several feeding groups with lots of individuals including a few warblers. We still have a few Gallinules and White Ibis as well as some Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Highlight of the day was an immature Crested Caracara hanging out with some day roosting Black Vultures.
