Hi Texbirders,
Spring migration is in full swing at Bentsen-RGV State Park. Already
here for a while are Elf Owl, Couch's Kingbird & Swallows.
There are birds just arriving such as Mississippi Kite, Brown-crested
Flycatcher, Northern Parula & Indigo Bunting.
This upcoming week, we expect more migrants such as Tanagers and Orioles
as well as Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Groove-billed Ani.
Join our Hawk Watchers at the Hawk Tower every day through April. Good
numbers of Broad-winged Hawks being reported as well as lots of wading
birds at the tower Resaca.
Check the gardens around the HQ for Olive Sparrow, Clay-colored Thrush,
Hooded Oriole & Long-billed Thrasher.
The feeding stations at the Nature Center will continue to be maintained
through April, but are attracting less individual birds as nesting
season begins.
Elf Owls calling after dark in the vicinity of Feeders #1 & #8.
Northern-Beardless Tyrannulets heard around feeder station #9 (Kiskadee
Blind).
Stay tuned & good birding.
