Hello Texas birders,
Migrants are definitely moving through/arriving here in Laredo. Here are a
few of the migrants I've seen lately at Lake Casa Blanca State Park:
Ash-throated Flycatcher (seen multiple times a few weeks ago)
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers
Bullock's Oriole today
Cliff Swallows
Lincoln's Sparrow
Black-necked Stilt (2) a few weeks ago at Ranchito Road ponds. The ponds
were still quite birdy last time I was there, with a fair amount of
species, but numbers of waterfowl individuals are down. Buffleheads appear
to have left, and there seem to be fewer Shovelers.
Couch's Kingbirds have been back for about a month.
According to my range maps, Osprey are only here in winter, but one was
still here at the Park today. I'll keep an eye out to see if I keep seeing
him/her.
Olive Sparrows have been singing in various parts of the Park as well.
I also had a Chimney Swift flying overhead early this evening in town.
Good birding,
Holly Reinhard
Laredo, TX
