 Hello Everyone,
A reminder that the Gibbons Creek CBC will be held on Tuesday, December 30th.
The count circle is located in Grimes County and encompasses Gibbons Creek
Reservoir, the TMPA reclamation area(lakes, ponds, grasslands, woodlands), and
the small communities of Anderson, Carlos, Keith, Singleton, Shiro, and Roans
Prairie. The tree species in the circle are comprised mostly of hardwoods, but
there are pines in the eastern portion of the circle.
Waterfowl, long-legged wading birds, raptors, shorebirds, grassland birds, and
woodland birds are encountered within the count circle.
Bald Eagle, Crested Caracara, Cave Swallow, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Bewick's
Wren, Sprague's Pipit, Henslow's Sparrow, and Harris's Sparrow are some of the
species encountered on count day. Some of the rarities found within the count
circle include Cinnamon Teal, Long-tailed Duck, Golden Eagle, Long-eared Owl,
Ringed Kingfisher, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Sage Thrasher, Pyrrhuloxia, and
Evening Grosbeak.
Everyone is welcomed to participate. Novice birders will be grouped with
experienced birders. If you are interested in participating in the count,
please send me an e-mail or call me at 979-251-4986. Participants will be
e-mailed a map of the count circle with the territories defined. Participants
will also receive the tabulation form, compilation form, rare bird
documentation form, and a CBC form via e-mail or snail mail. We especially need
birders in the Singleton and Anderson sections of the count circle.
The countdown dinner will be held at Yankee's Tavern at 10328 FM244 in Carlos.
The location is just north of the Hwy. 30/FM244 intersection. Meeting time is
6:00PM. The phone number for the tavern is (936)873-3314. Best
regards,Darrell VollertChappell HillGibbons Creek CBC Compiler
