Another rainy day, but not hard pounding rain and no wind so some of the smaller birds were more cooperative today. Cassin's Sparrow singing and skylarking made them easy to find and see. Savannah Sparrow are still plentiful. We found 2 Grasshopper Sparrows, too. Ducks are still around, just smaller groups. Large numbers of White Ibis flying overhead. Only 1 Aplomado Falcon today, near Tower Gate but not on nest platform. A real treat was 3 Groove-billed Ani on the entrance road as we returned about noon. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <ebird-checklist@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 1:35 PM Subject: eBird Trail Tracker Report - Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Mar 15, 2015 To: dkelly163@xxxxxxxxx Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Cameron, US-TX Mar 15, 2015 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: eBird Trail Tracker Comments: Bahia Grande Tower Gate and Red Gate Rainy, but no wind 43 species Gadwall 4 Mottled Duck 4 Blue-winged Teal 20 Green-winged Teal 10 Northern Bobwhite 11 American White Pelican 50 Brown Pelican 5 Great Blue Heron 5 Great Egret 7 Snowy Egret 1 Tricolored Heron 2 Reddish Egret 11 White Ibis 85 Osprey 1 Northern Harrier 3 Harris's Hawk 2 White-tailed Hawk 1 Spotted Sandpiper 1 Greater Yellowlegs 7 Long-billed Curlew 3 Laughing Gull 22 Caspian Tern 2 Forster's Tern 8 Mourning Dove 1 Great Horned Owl 2 Golden-fronted Woodpecker 1 American Kestrel 1 Aplomado Falcon 1 Loggerhead Shrike 3 White-eyed Vireo 2 Chihuahuan Raven 2 Horned Lark 35 Bewick's Wren 1 Curve-billed Thrasher 16 Northern Mockingbird 27 Common Yellowthroat 1 Olive Sparrow 1 Cassin's Sparrow 22 Savannah Sparrow 37 Grasshopper Sparrow 2 Northern Cardinal 2 Red-winged Blackbird 1 Eastern Meadowlark 45 -- Donna and Alvin Kelly RV Volunteers Home is where you park it!
