I went out to Horizon Turf Farm in Burleson County (just off Hwy 50)
this afternoon and saw some great birds, including a brilliant
adultWhite-tailed Hawk.
There were approximately 9-10 Bald Eagles flying south of the turf
farm--all were immatures.
There were also lots of Am. Pipits, Horned Larks, and Killdeer.
A tip from a local birder helped me locat an immature Red-headed
Woodpecker. The bird was close to the Brazos River (about 100-200
yards after the right hand turn near the end of the turf farm).
I think I saw one Lapland Longspur but the bird was pretty far away. I
spoke with a birder from Tombel who also birding the site and he said
he saw Lapland Longspurs and one Chestnut-collared Longspur. I missed
these birds.
