 Howdy Texbirders,
 Small group of birders this morning on our Saturday morning bird walk but a 
lot of good bird activity. Highlight was to have gotten some great looks at a 
Virginia Rail off of the boardwalk at Ibis Pond and then from the deck, put the 
scope on it for everyone to see.
 Pectoral Sandpipers, Stilt Sandpipers are feeding in Dowitcher Pond with lots 
of other shorebirds and waders. By the time we finished at around noon, the sun 
was high in the sky and the heat building. Forecasters were predicting 101 for 
a record breaking temp. but don't think it quite reached it, YET. 
OK, take a look at my ebird report for what is being seen and what you might 
expect to get when visiting Estero this week. Oh, almost forgot--- Seen what 
appeared to be an early female Tenn. Warbler. Was not able to see undertail 
coverts to make a positive ID, however.   Remember,

Bird for your health,
Forget your worries,
You'll be happier.
