Cross Creek Park - http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36146150
Small party this morning but weather cooperated until we finished for a beautiful morning of birding before the rain came back right as we finished with about 60 species. Several first-of-season birds including Ibis, Avocet, Great-tailed Grackle, Swainson's Thrush, Yellow-rumped Warblers (both types and some hybrids too), Tree Swallows and Violet-Green Swallows, Lesser Yellowlegs, Wilson's Snipe, Marsh Wren, Yellow-headed Blackbird and Savannah Sparrow. House Wren was new for the year for some of our party I think, too.
