7:30 to 11:00AM CST
43º Clear rising to 73º
Not much going on except for the Yellow-headed Blackbird; but that
made my day!
Sauerheber Unit of the Sloughs is now closed. :-(
Wood Tract, Anderson Pond, Crenshaw Tract, Jenny Hole/Highland Creek
Unit.
Pied-billed Grebe at Hardy Sloughs impoundment visible from the road.
At 7:30 mostly Mallards (Thousand?) at north side of Wood Tract & 8
Shovelers.
Wood Tract west end: Canada Geese and Greater White-fronted Geese.
Anderson Pond has been taken over by Mallards (thousands)
Crenshaw Tract:
3 Wood Ducks.
Jenny Hole/Highland Creek Unit (Henderson Co):
Yellow-headed Blackbird, 1, with small flock of Red-winged Blackbirds,
flushed out of tall grass.
It flew over me and circled back over me again then back down into the
grass.
First one I have seen outside of Texas.
One more stop at Wood Tract at 11:30. All the ducks were gone.
Replaced by several hundred White-fronted Geese and 1 Snow Goose (blue
phase)
