I am on the boardwalk now. Not very crowded. Birds seeing include gnat catcher woodcock, black throated blue and green, palm, black and white, red start, rc kinglet, kingbird, red eyed vireo and yellow warbler. This is besides the usual herons, egrets, blue winged teal eagles etc.

Have not finished the board walk and getting a bit more active with the warming sun.
