I've been birding bear creek park this morning and man are the birds here. They are all right in your face, this is some of the best views I have ever had of a pine warbler! Huge flocks of yellow-rumped and pine warblers mixed with bluebirds and chipping sparrows. I still haven't seen my target birds: red breasted nuthatch and golden crowned kinglet. I am headed down to corpus area tomorrow to find: burrowing owl, golden crowned kinglet, lesser black backed, bonapartes, and California gull, black and surf scoter, nelsons and grasshopper sparrow. And look for those Matagorda tundra swans. If anyone know of any hotspots or good sights to find these birds, any info would be greatly appreciated. -- Clayton & Linsey Leopold Texas City Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
