Hello Texbirders,
Yesterday we were out for several hours and listed below are the birds
seen throughout the park and at the headquarter gardens. Birds that
have been regulars at headquarters are Green Herons, Plain Chachalacas,
Great Kiskadees, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, Groove-billed Anis, Olive
Sparrows, and Clay-colored Thrush. We have even had several reports of
a small group of Wild Turkey roaming around the Nature Center and into
Ebony Grove.
Hope to see you soon!
