Hi Texbirders...Yes, we got wet! But had some nice birding this morning.
The highlights included Pintail Lakes: GRAY HAWK, WHITE-TAILED KITE.
SEDGE and MARSH WRENS heard and seen briefly by some. SORA, GREEN & BELTED
KINGFISHERS. On the trails and at Willow Lakes: CLAY-COLORED THRUSH,
MERLIN, lots of ALTAMIRA ORIOLS. NORTHER BEARDLESS-TYRANNULETS heard only.
If it's raining your way, come join us for a presentation on "Birding
