Leaving the park around 6 pm yesterday the sky above the Nature Center was
filled with Vaux Swifts. Plus a juvie Bald Eagle soaring above them.

This evening two male Rufous Hummingbirds treated me to stereo displays, one
on the left, one on the right. I was standing on the first wooden footbridge
you come to when you enter the forest from the top parking lot. There used to
be a shallow lake there, say 75 years ago. It's now a wetland, having naturally
filled in over the years. It's one of the best places in the park to view
hummingbirds and warblers.

Barn and Violet-green Swallows over Andrews' Bay today, too.
