We birded various areas of the park. The great-horned owl was in the same tree we’ve seen it in the past, between Picnic Areas 7 and 2. Other birds seen in the park included anhinga, red-bellied woodpecker, osprey, white ibis, spotted sandpiper, royal tern, roseate spoonbill (2 flying low over the water), Forster’s tern, yellow-bellied sapsucker, brown pelican, double-crested cormorant, little blue heron, and yellow-rumped warbler.

Never saw a spotted sandpiper! Nice
We saw one in the same exact location last year, too. In the winter, the bird should be renamed the “spotless sandpiper.”
