It was mostly overcast, warm, and a bit windy on the bird survey today. 67 species were found. The first broods of Purple Gallinules for the year were seen today and one bird was seen sitting on a floating nest among the lilypads. There are two Anhinga rookery's on Pintail Lake now and 3 nests have young in them. Some Cattle egrets are starting to hang out with them and at least one is already nest building. Two Neotropic Cormorants are hanging out in there as well and may start nesting also.
