Hi Texbirders, we were joined by 15 birders for this morning's birdwalk. Target birds for many were the 5 GROOVE-BILLED ANI, seen again on the west side of Pintail Lake #5. Also, NORTHERN-BEARDLESS TYRANNULET at Willow Lake #3, and CLAY-COLORED THRUSH, seen between Willow Lake #1 and 2. Javalinas were seen at Pintail Lake #2. We'll be at it again tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. Come out and enjoy a walk in your National Wildlife Refuge.
