Greetings All: I completed the Breeding Bird Survey northwest of Plains (bridging Yoakum and Cochran Counties) and managed a total of two highlights along the route: I Lesser Prairie Chicken on the Yoakum County portion of the route and 1 Lesser Prairie Chicken along the Cochran County portion of the route. Incidental highlights for the day: 4 Black-necked Stilts and 16 American Avocets in a freshly-flooded playa west of Whiteface (Cochran County) and 1 Great Egret at Maxey Park in Lubbock (Lubbock County). Hopefully I will complete the other Plains BBS (located east of Plains) tomorrow ... though some of the roads were a bit 'interesting' today and tomorrow's route is generally the more 'interesting' of the two.
