The rain did not show up this morning as expected. A nice walk around the Park, with dark skies. I did not find anything new, except for my 2nd sighting in the Park of a Black-and-white Warbler. Palm & Pine Warblers are big numbers, and so the Myrtle.
At the Lake, 3 sps of Swallows, and almost no gulls or waterfowl.
