*************************************************** Cloudy, hazy,humid, light S. breeze. Birded only for about 1.5 hours this AM. Same area, same trees as usual...Not as good as yesterday morning but still a few birds of interest including my FOY Black-billed Cuckoo (calling) and a flock of around 50 waxwings.. Pretty good morning for Kentuckys 2 and Blue-winged Warblers 3 (2 HO). Still a number of Scarlet Tanagers. Several large flocks of Franklin's Gulls and a flock of about 35-40 Fulvous Tree Ducks heading north, presumably coming in off the barrier islands (?) Kiskadees in the mulberries etc. etc. Got rats to kill, likely rat reds, so need to thaw some bait. May hit the trees in the afternoon...But maybe not. -- Brush Freeman 361-655-7641 Cell http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
