Howdy Texbirders,
Lafitte's was good this morning, but not quite as active as the past two
days. The Cerulean was the star of the morning with great looks as it
visited one of the water features. Jenni and I got brief glimpses of what
was a probable Swainson's Wabler. That species had been seen earlier in
the morning and the bird we saw was in the area that John Tharp saw it
yesterday. Not good enough looks for me to count it. The "migrants" were:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Great Crested Flycatcher
White-throated Vireo
Yellow-throated Vireo
Blue-headed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Northern Rough-winged Swallow
Cliff Swallow
Tree Swallow
Barn Swallow
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Blue-winged Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow-rumped Warbler (both subspecies)
Black-and-white Warbler
Cerulean Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
Hooded Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Summer Tanager
Scarlet Tanager
Blue Grosbeak
Indigo Bunting
Orchard Oriole
Baltimore Oriole
Gray-capped Rosy-finch (nope...just seeing if you were paying attention...)
Farther down toward San Luis we had Eastern Kingbirds, Summer Tanagers, and
more Orchard Orioles.
A very nice morning.
Good birding
