Migrants put in a decent showing at Lafitte's Cove and vicinity today. I
came up with 12 warbler species at Lafitte's along with other migrants like
Painted Bunting, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Red-eyed Vireos, etc. Several
shorebird species were present on the front ponds and quite a few hawks
were heading over with 3 Swainson's, 1 Broad-winged, and 2 Mississippi
Kites.
Noteworthy at Galveston Island SP was a flock of 50 Franklin's Gulls headed
NE. They were briefly seen a short while later headed over Lafitte's Cove
as well.
Two Western Kingbirds were still present along Settegast Road with a large
number of Eastern Kingbirds.
A late male Redhead was feeding in a pond along Stewart Road at the
intersection with 8 mile.
Good Birding,
John Tharp
