Another late start got us to the park at 7:45 with around a 54 degree temp. Not so much activity this morning either animal or human. The sun was pretty high up so it looks like I may have to start coming even earlier.

Bird activity was especially low compared to yesterday. Perched birds were well out of range as were those I saw in flight. I did see one of those Tropical Kingbirds but only one. No Orioles and only one duck. The only shot I got was a dismal one of a Hairy Woodpecker. He was not interested in standing still or even bouncing into some decent light.

Sightings:
Birds: Starlings, Cormorants, Duck, Canada Geese, Swallows, Robins, Kestrel, Tropical Kingbird, Blue Jay, Barn Swallows, Osprey
Critters: Squirrel
