Hi Peter,
This morning I saw the usual suspects for this time of year in the park. In addition, the Yellow Warbler continues on the Peninsula meadow, an Ovenbird was somewhere in the Midwood, and a White-Throated Sparrow was near Rick's Place. Gadwalls and Wood Ducks on the Lullwater.

Didn't see any activity at the Googa Mooga Green Heron nest. But very nearby on a tree on the shore of the Lullwater just north of the Cove I saw a Green Heron both building and sitting on a nest, with another heron standing nearby. Perhaps it relocated and is nesting again, or is this an old nest?
