This morning the immature Great Cormorant was on its favorite rock at the end of the lighthouse jetty.

I watched the La Sagra's Flycatcher for 25 minutes at the south end of the park. It favors this area now, so parking at the south end of Area C and entering the dirt Nature Trail there will probably be helpful. It was 240 yards west of the terminus and remained in a large Strangler Fig and nearby Green Buttonwood stand. It was silent during the first 10 minutes but it gave a chatter call when it chased a Great Crested Flycatcher. It only called once with its typical whistle-like "wheet," but it gave 4 loud, harsh calls when a second Great Crested arrived. Eventually it moved north, staying ~30 yards east of the trail and calling twice.
