I was greeted with a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO flying around after an odonate. There were a few others calling throughout the park. A BARRED OWL behind the schoolhouse being harassed by crows. A flyover GREAT EGRET. (alas no frigatebird).

About 60 AMERICAN ROBINS flocking on the baseball field.

Found some butterflies even though it clouded over....this one was new to me but I believe it is a female Zabulon Skipper?
