Wow! What a trip to High Island. Left Tyler at 5am and got back about
8:30pm. Between Boy Scout Woods(BS) and Smith Oaks (SO) we had 22
warbler species including Worm-eating (BS), Swainson's (SO), Magnolia
(both), tons of Yellows (SO), Blackburnian (SO), Bay-breasted (both),
and Cerulean (SO). Also had amazing looks a tired little Chestnut-sided
that walked almost to my feet and a very cooperative Black-billed
Cuckoo. I will try to get some of the photos and videos up on the
facebook page. =20

Rollover pass was very busy with most of the Sandpiper and Plover
species that should be there. Had an amazing spectacle of a huge
liftoff of Skimmers that went right to feeding. Avocets were there in
large numbers too. Had a Common Tern on the mudflats along with Black,
Forster's, Royal, gull-billed, and Sandwich. =20

From the Robin singing, predawn, in my front yard when we left to the
last bird we saw, a Barred Owl land on a lighted billboard, we total 151
species. =20
