After a two week trip outside of Texas, I was pleasantly happy to find that the
painted redstart and the red-headed woodpecker are still at Aransas NWR. The
redstart is hanging around the trees near the visitor center and the red-headed
woodpecker is in the dead oak trees near the front gate.
Other birds with limited time for observing this morning included eastern
bluebirds, greater white-fronted and snow geese, golden and ruby-crowned
kinglets, a Couch's kingbird, common grackles and American goldfinch. Over 200
sandhill cranes flew over the visitor center this morning with one whooping
crane mixed in.
I didn't observe the long-tailed ducks or any scoters as of yesterday evening
or this morning.
