Hi Peter,
Well, today the weather was much improved from last week, but there were fewer species in the park...so migration is still in the wings, as it were....
We had 53 species (still not bad for April) as listed below. Highlights included and American Lady butterfly...(we actually weren't that desperate, but a beautiful insect it was), Northern Parula, lots of Pines and Palms, many very fired-up Ruby-crowned Kinglets (all the golden seem to have left already), Turkey Vulture, American Widgeon pair, Monk Parakeets fly by, Common Yellowthroat and more.
Here's the list with a couple of photos.
One's a Palm Warbler showing its diagnostic tail pattern.
Best regards,
Tom
