Texbirders,
An Eastern Wood Pee-Wee was also spotted near Creglow Hill at Blucher Park
today, as well as a fat female opossum with one baby on her back which we
observed falling off, and we also found another tiny baby possum on the
middle trail. Hope momma came back and got them.
We also observed a Black-chinned Hummer nest near the Kiskadees' nest.
Beautiful weather, plus I met a newcomer to C.C. who lives in my
neighborhood!
