Please start sending your posts to texbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Raul and I started at the Gravel Pits this morning where we had two singing male White-collared Seedeaters and not much else. We saw one Green Parakeet at their roost in an old building at Laredo Community College. From there we went to Las Palmas Trail and Zacate Creek where we had a male and a female White-collared Seedeater, a Ringed Kingfisher and many Couch's and Western Kingbirds. We drove over to Lake Casa Blanca where we saw the two Western Grebes swimming together. If these two are breeding here, does anyone know when we can expect to see babies? At Ranchito Road we had a Swainson's Hawk. Slow morning, but fun as always.
