There was a pretty fair amount of bird activity at the C-111E this morning. The C-111E is the first canal after passing Benito Juarez park (soccer field) on the road to ENP. Most of the birds were on the east bank of the canal, but there were birds on both sides. I called Larry and he came over right away and found some great birds, including some that I initially missed like a male Hooded and a Chestnut-sided that I got to see later and a Yellow that I missed. There were also a lot of Traill's Flycatchers around, with several definite Alders and a possible Willow doing the "whit" call just before 7:00 am. Two of the Alders were about a mile down along the west bank of the canal. Larry went over to the Annex and added a Blackburnian Warbler to his day's list.
