flight show up-and-down rudder-like
motion of this member; females much
smaller, with shorter tails and
not so iridescent; one was seen carrying
nest material over the house-tops );
Red-winged Blackbird (at least six over the
lakes bordering the Park at one end,
forging at edge of Mississippi River );
yellow-billed Cuckoo (just got acquainted
with two, three following up their
notes - so startlingly like those of
roadrunner!); Vireo, possibly white-eyed
(at least 3 in oak tops, singing
almost continuously, very vireo-like, but
not like any I've known before );
Cardinal (a ? just came thru the
trees close by, showing all chief
diagnostic features ); Warblers (several
in tree tops, not for sure recognizable;
that I saw Redstart and Creekear,
but
not sure ).
