The morning was overcast with a light breeze. Water finished filling the entire resaca system a couple days ago, and while not flooded, it's full. All decks and recaca overlooks have plenty of water and an interesting variety of ducks. We're sure the Wood Duck is still around, but didn't locate it today. While water was flowing it moved from the South Mexican Olive deck to the first bridge area where it was easily visible for a couple days. -- Sherry Wilson Resident Park Host Resaca de la Palma State Park 1000 New Carmen Road Brownsville, TX 78521 956-350-2920 Bird Walks every Saturday - 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Butterfly Walks every Sunday - 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Night Hikes every Friday (must RSVP by 5:00 p.m. Thurs) - small fee Nature Tram Rides - Thursday thru Sunday http://www.facebook.com/resacadelapalma DIRECTIONS: The main entrance to Resaca de la Palma State Park is located on New Carmen Blvd. From Expressway 77/83, exit at Olmito, take FM 1732, follow for 2.5 miles; turn left at New Carmen Road; follow for 1.5 miles; shortly after the gravel hump in the road, turn left to enter the park. *Learn how you can help Texas State Parks:* http://bit.ly/sVdilb 41 species Gadwall 6 Mottled Duck 4 Blue-winged Teal 3 Northern Shoveler 18 Green-winged Teal 11 Ring-necked Duck 3 Lesser Scaup 2 Bufflehead 4 Plain Chachalaca 2 Least Grebe 10 Pied-billed Grebe 3 Turkey Vulture 71 Cooper's Hawk 1 Red-shouldered Hawk 2 American Coot 14 Laughing Gull 2 Inca Dove 2 White-tipped Dove 3 Golden-fronted Woodpecker 15 Ladder-backed Woodpecker 3 Eastern Phoebe 7 Great Kiskadee 17 White-eyed Vireo 1 Blue-headed Vireo 1 Green Jay 36 Black-crested Titmouse 4 House Wren 4 Carolina Wren 3 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 8 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 5 Northern Mockingbird 1 Long-billed Thrasher 6 Orange-crowned Warbler 14 Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 2 Olive Sparrow 7 Northern Cardinal 10 Red-winged Blackbird 148 Great-tailed Grackle 6 Altamira Oriole 1 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S12137180 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org) 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
