Yesterday, Ben Van Allen, Mark Kulstad, and I joined Mary Ann Beauchemin
and the Russ Pittman Nature Center shorebird workshop. We started off at
the Bolivar Peninsula, checked out a few localities along 87 up to High
Island, and then ended the day at Anahuac NWR and the flooded fields on FM
1985 just east of Anahuac NWR. The only two birds that we missed were
Snowy Plover and Baird's Sandpiper, despite some concerted effort in
looking for them.
We also stopped at the Jackson Prairie Woodlot in Anahuac NWR and picked up
2 Black-billed Cuckoos and a few other migrants (E W Pewee, Swainson's
Thrush, Black-and-white Warbler, Am Redstart)
