Prairie Falcon remains in the Granger area as of 3/3, with a report of one

Buff-bellied Hummingbird continues at Hornsby Bend with records on 3/2,3.
Unfortunately a fire on the compost drying beds has the entire facility

A nice description of a possible Golden Eagle came from the area of the
Pennybacker Bridge in west Austin on 2/27.
White Ibis remains below Longhorn Dam on 3/1- juvenile plumage is being
replaced with adult white feathers.
