Hello TexBirders,
The cold has come in, and so have the waterfowl. I drove around the park
today, getting out to scope waterfowl (and then warming back up in the
car--the wind is brutal!). Species of note:
- American White Pelicans are back, though still in small numbers (just 3
seen today)
- Northern Shovelers are back--I had about 150 this morning
- Ruddy Duck
- Gadwall
- the gulls have returned--there was a small flock of about 15 Ring-billed
Gulls today. I expect more are coming in each day.
- Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are still around, and seem to be flocking up
- Osprey have been back for a few months now
- Least Sandpipers are more numerous than in the past few months, and
swarming the parking lot from the lake shore.
I know that the waterfowl were late coming into the valley, and the same
seems to be true here. However, they are trickling in now.
Full reports on eBird.
Good birding,
