As Dave mentioned, there are plenty of Nashville and Orange-crowned warblers
around. However, my experience this morning/afternoon was that there were few
other migrants around. Overall, it was a pretty quiet day bird-wise. For at
least a little excitement, I did have a male Scarlet Tanager that briefly made
an appearance in my NW Austin backyard. There were Spotted, Baird's, Western,
and Least sandpipers at Lake Travis. However, the best shorebird I had was a
Semipalmated Plover at Sandy Creek Park on Lake Travis. I also thought the
Rock Wren attending 2 fledglings at Sandy Creek was pretty neat.

You can't swing a dead cat w/o hitting tanagers and Nashville and orange
crowned warblers. I have seen at least 15-20 of each warblers. The really
disappointing thing is that I haven't seen other types of warblers.

Has anyone in Austin been out today (Wednesday) to gauge the impact of the
cold front? Little rain, but the wind and cold weather make it interesting.
I see that the Cornell team is running their big day tomorrow to coincide
with the front/fallout.
