Today while working in Motley county, west of Matador, I saw the following birds: Ring-necked duck-3 American coot-4 Wild turkey-6 Scissor-tailed flycatcher-1 Ash-throated flycatcher-4 Wilson's snipe-1 Turkey vulture-6 Lark bunting-8 Say's phoebe-1 Not bad for some incidental birding! The butterflies were really active and noticeable today too. Spring is springing. Manuel T. De Leon, Lynn county Sent from my iPad
