This is a tiny place with maybe a 300-yard boardwalk through a scrap of cypress woods, plus a couple of other trails. (W side of Coral Springs Dr. just N of Atlantic Blvd.) Nothing special for birding except that it is open on Tuesdays unlike most Broward Parks, and it is a very pretty walk. Spent an hour there this afternoon, fleeing paperwork:

osprey 1
anhinga 1
black-crowned night heron 1
catbird 3-4
red-bellied woodpecker 2-3
yellow-bellied sapsucker 1 (maybe 2-3 others; flying they looked the same)
BG gnatcatcher 2-3
black-throated blue m/f pair (one male got a berry stuck on his upper bill and
was having a lot of trouble getting it off when I
lost sight of it)
redstart 1 f
