Hi all, Here's an old listfrom Decemberfrom an area that I hadn'tpreviously
birded. After entering this list, I had just finished entering another of the
many lists I'm behind on when I gota b.s. message from e-bird regarding
"highly-trained parrots". Thishas happened once before. Has this happened to
anyone else? I have cut and pasted it into an e-mail if anyone wants to see it.
Red River NWR-Nabors Pintail Tract, De Soto, US-LA
Dec 11, 2012 7:55 AM - 11:30 AM
Protocol: Traveling
1.5 mile(s)
Comments: Birded with Hubert Hervey. 2 observers, 3 hrs. 35 minutes, 1.5
miles walked (3 miles round trip). 39 degrees, clear, calm/light N beginning,
46 degrees, clear, light N ending. We parked at hwy 84 and walked the ridge to
the bayou crossing, then a good way West along the bayou near property
boundaries. The habitat was comprised of mostly scattered larger oaks and other
deciduous trees along the ridge down to the bayou to our East, then hackberry
with profuse Chasmanthium understory in the flats along the creek to the East
and North, then more pines and oak/pine mix and scattered somewhat denser
thickets to the West. There were a few small to medium-sized grassy openings
along the mile+ of trail between 84 and our curve to the West along the bayou.
The soil appears rather poor and good thickets were few, with much of the woods
more-so open. Sparrow numbers were comparatively low across the area, but we
did find quite a few kinglets, Brown
Creeper and Winter Wren. Hairy Woodpecker was probably the best bird of the
day.
