This morning September 24, 2012, I birded Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs
and found some of the continuing rarities.  The NEOTROPIC CORMORANT and
Northern Parula are both still present.  I also relocated yesterdays
immature BROAD-WINGED HAWK in the natural area south of the group picnic
area.  I managed to get some fairly nice photos of the bird both perched and
a couple in flight.  Also, the film crew is gone now so birding is a little
easier back there.

Near picnic bench #40, where all the activity usually seems to be, there was
a male LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCH in the willow with the Wilson's Warblers.  Other
birds around included five Red-breasted Nuthatches and a Belted Kingfisher.
