Texbirders,
Updates on what folks are seeing at the various migrant traps are very
helpful. I have noticed a significant drop in texbirds traffic lately.
Everyone must be out birding hard. I know I haven't had time to compose
concise updates, and I am 3 weeks behind on my photos.
Saturday hi-lites:
:-( I reported a Ferruginous Hawk near Attwater NWR in error. 'Twas a
Krider's Red-tailed Hawk.
Quintana:
- Horned Grebe with Eared Grebes on Saturday on north side of
Freeport/Dow Storm Levee (scope distance)
Sunday hi-lites:
Anahuac Rail Walk Sunday 7am:
- Black Rail (flew 5 feet in front of me /brag:-)
- Yellow Rail (x2)
- Sora (x4)
- Clapper Rail or "Cling" on road, nice grey cheeks
- King Rails calling all along the roads
- American Bittern (x5, x2 in ditch along road)
- Least Bittern in ditch along road
- Whimbrel (flyover of 60)
Skillern Track:
-if you have a scope there are lots of shorebirds. I missed the reeve
by a few minutes:-(
Lafitte's on Sunday:
- Arrived around 2pm and it was hopping! It then quieted down but got
really busy around 6pm. Much better than the few other reports I have seen
would indicate. Slow photography wise though.
