Blue Headed Vireo at Quiet Waters Park

Blackie, our adopted stray cat, awoke me at 4:00 this morning, so I had to kill 3.5 hours until sunrise. Pigged out on online pool.
I went back to Quiet Waters to save some gas money and see if it was as good as yesterday. It was. Lots of birds were feeding where the sun first hit the treetops, and Holly Pavillion was as active as yesterday.
Bug hunting was near fruitless.
