Today, Friday, at just past 1pm at Leroy Elmore Park, there was a Tricolored Heron. We were watching the American White Pelican swim around among the Cormorants when the Tricolored Heron flew from north to south, and landed on the southern bank. We observed it for a while. I have only seen it around here long ago, more recently in Florida and Panama, so I do not know whether it is considered unusual here in Lubbock or not. May take a camera, and see whether I can get a photo. Floyd and Clarice Robertson 4702 61st St Lubbock TX 79414-4527 806-799-4174 home 47robertson02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
