Today I birded Pollywog Pond, Rosehill Cemetery, Blucher Park, Packery
Channel, Mustang Island, and Port Aransas.  I was joined by Martin Reid and
Sheridan Coffey plus Chet Burrier (Port Aransas).  It was amazingly birdy
especially at Rosehill Cemetery and Pollywog Pond.  I managed to tally 25
species of warblers with another three species (Prothonotary, Orange-crowned
& Blackpoll) seen by friends.  A Black-throated Blue was reported from
Paradise Pond.  This brings the total to 29 warblers seen/reported from the
Corpus Christi area today.

I ran into Doug Stenner at Rosehill Cemetery who showed me photos of a

yesterday!  An amazingly late record especially since this species was
pretty much absent from South Texas this past winter.
