Texbirders,
Shelia Hargis and I participated in the Palestine CBC yesterday. It was our
first time on this CBC that was begun in the 1980's. The habitat is largely
rural residential and range-land so we spent most of our day car-birding
which we have a great time with. Highlights of the 66-species day for us
were Harris's Sparrows in multiple locations, Fox Sparrows in two
locations. a Crested Caracara (unusual for this location), both
Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches, and (conservatively) 260
Northern Cardinals. Seriously, we were tallying 20 and 25 Northern
Cardinals at our stops!
We appreciate the efforts of the CBC compiler Ann Huffstetter for getting
us up to speed on the count circle and helping us get started for the day.
