This is a slightly belated report, but both Sam and Elliot posted their
highlights from St. Edwards Park yesterday and they were much the same as mine
(though darn it I dipped on the Yellow-throated Vireo). Anyway, I birded the
main body of the park, as well as the trails that go to the north and south of
it along the creek. I had good numbers of many species, like Black-chinned
Hummingbirds and Golden-cheeked Warblers. However, the highlights were 3
singing Louisiana Waterthrushes along the creek and a pair of Northern
Rough-Winged Swallows. My full list from the morning follows:
Wood Duck 2

Black Vulture 3
Turkey Vulture 9
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1
