Notes & Observations

5/21/22 – I technically first saw or heard this bird on a group trip to Mitchell Lake in July 2021 but consider my own ‘discovery’ of this bird to be the following month when I found it at Pearsall Park on my own. I got a really great look and ID of it, and even got a recording of its ‘crying puppy’ call. I hadn’t seen this bird since last year and when I led my first bird walk this past weekend, it made a grand appearance to everyone’s delight.
