A nightjar of some kind - hard to tell which but I'm leaning towards Whip-poor-will at the moment as it did seem to present a bit grey-er in color than the last chuck-will's I saw...he was sitting high in a palm tree just across from the men's bathroom entrance. Surprisingly very out in the open, other than having to look up in the palm tree to see him - and there was not any good light on the bird either. The other nice sighting was what I initially thought was a female painted bunting out in an unusual spot, but on further and closer look and from help with the ID, appears to be a female summer tanager. This is very close to the spot where I spotted a western tanager last week.
