We went out at 11:00 this morning and found one poorwill in the gravel that
runs along the front of the parking lot. We saw it from the grassy field near
some small bushes. We also had an osprey fly out of one of the trees we walked
under. We certainly weren’t expecting that! There was also a grasshopper
sparrow, white crowned sparrow, house wren, Nashville warbler, orange crowned
warbler, Lincoln’s sparrows, and a bunch of Spotted towhees. We were only there
30 minutes and were mostly looking on the ground and still got a nice list.

the weekend, if you haven’t gotten a good look at one before or just want to
see one again, now seems to be the time. The best bet is be to scan the
landscaping gravel. There’s obviously no guarantee of finding one, but if
anyone would like help, I can meet you during an afternoon or early evening
to look. I have included the link to the TTU HSC parking map with the
visitor parking lot on it. It is not a far walk from the Preston Smith
Library where we have been birding on campus.
