Hello Paul-the-Other,
I saw you guy's drive in and look towards me and I thought about staying to
see if you were there to bird, but I was already late for a meeting. If you ever
see me again somewhere be sure to wave so we can meet. If I would have known it
was you I would have stayed a little while longer.
Most of the birds left the park last night. I only saw the buntings,
Cardinals, Jays, Mockers, Doves, a few Palms, White-eyed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo,
Phoebe, the Spotted Munias and heard a few BT Blues and Common Yellow Throats.
I had called Toe to ask what kind of bird I was looking at and he suggested
Manikins, which seems to be the same type of bird as the Spotted Munias. There
was a pair and one was collecting nesting material and I followed one to a tree
with a nest where I found the other.
I spent a little time trying for some real close-ups at whatever showed at
the feeders.

Sure was nice out this morning. Glad I was able to enjoy it for a while, sorry
I missed finally getting to meet Paul-the-Other.
