Friday Lee
Zieger, Paula Parson, and Millie Esser struck out.
|
Sunday,
July 18, afternoon Millie,
Alma, Jennie, and I returned seeing the
Black-headed Nightingale Thrush mostly from the back side only. I
did
see the bird
from the front
for one perch lasting about 45 seconds and then a bath at 8:30PM.
Wednesday,
July 21, afternoon Lee returned for the photos below.
We hit a triple. A home run would have included the Blue Mockingbird
who is known to come here.
Seating is comfortable
with a
row seats for about 15 and 20 feet from the perches. Some
are even lounge style. A few seats are even closer for those who
can stay still and photograph. We did find
out the seats were comfortable enough to sleep waiting for
action.
