Hello, Texbirders,
We've had some interesting birds these past couple of days hanging out at
the North Pond here at the Edinburg Scenic Wetlands & World Birding Center.

The Black Skimmer discovered yesterday morning was again skimming at North
Pond early this morning and disappeared by mid morning (nice bird to get
away from the coast). The pair of Ringed Kingfishers also discovered
yesterday continued through today and were easily seen and heard all
day from the North Pond overlook. A Purple Gallinule was a great surprise
this morning, seen briefly at the southeastern corner of North Pond
climbing a tree growing from the pond bank (a very secretive bird).

Good birding to all,
