Carolyn,
Tomorrow should be substantially better albeit short lived. I'd check both
morning and afternoon. The wind is supposed to switch back to the south
late in the day tomorrow so I'm betting it will pretty much be a one day
wonder although some of the more tired birds make stick around for a day or
two afterward.

Dry wherever I went, along 1941, Fairview, Skillern Tract, Smith Oaks,
other
High Island sites.
No birds. Very windy, gusty.
Oh, I did see clusters of whimbrel along a north field on 1941 close to
124.
Eastern Kingbirds
here and there. There was a grand total of one yellow rumped in Smith Oaks
and
four or five
common grackles. Nice to see the nesting egrets, cormorants and spoonbills
at
rookery,
the only action ongoing.
Garrett Road off beltway 8 (east of Houston) had golden plovers and a few
upland sandpipers with them.
I hope whoever stayed through until evening found conditions better.
