For me the Interesting sightings were the brown-headed cowbird and Blue winged teal which I was seeing for the first time. Also saw a lone Kestrel and a Red shouldered hawk.

I also saw a bird which looks like a Orange Crowned warbler. But I still have to confirm the ID from the experts.

Even last weekend did a quick 30 minutes walk in Breckinbridge park. I was so glad I made the visit since I was able to see Scissor-tailed flycatcher at a close distance and the highlight was Barred Owl. I had made lot of visits earlier to this park but this was the first time i got lucky with the owl. Probably visiting in the late evening helped ;-)
