How much time was spent peeping over the fence into Jim C's yard?

Kassie,
Started owling around 6:00am. You don’t know me yet but I can be a little
crazy. I’m sure several of the members on the listserv can confirm my
craziness. Cough cough Anthony, Jim.

Greetings All:
I take all weather predictions in this region with a grain of salt (we
see a lot of forecasted events fizzle or slip by the region without
affecting the region) but it does look as though we are going to have
a significant weather event over the course of the next three days and
this, combined with an early movement of some expected and unexpected
species in the counties to our north (due, it is thought, to birds
fleeing drought and fire to our northwest and west), could lead to an
interesting bounty of birds pushed into our region.
We get weather systems like this every year - what makes this
potentially special is the already ongoing movement of western species
into the region and the possibility that they might get pushed
southward.
Expected species such as Brown Creeper, Western and Mountain Bluebird,
Townsend's Solitaire, and White-throated Sparrow are popping up in
unusual numbers to the north quite early this year. The
White-throated Sparrow is already in surprisingly good numbers in our
area (Peter Keyel had five on the TTU HSC Campus today and I had a
record for my yard tally of four) - the other species may well show up
in the wake of our first winter weather event.
Unexpected species such as Mountain Chickadees (and to a lesser extent
Pinyon Jay and Evening Grosbeak) have popped up in the panhandle
already and who knows what might be headed our way.
In the event that things get interesting I would encourage folk to
focus on areas with a variety of trees as many of these species are
rarely found far from conifers. Clapp Park, the Lubbock Cemetery,
various other cemeteries throughout the region spring to mind
immediately. Further-flung spots such as Swenson Park in Spur, the
cemetery and county parks in Morton, Stanford Park in Plains, the
wooded portions of the town of Muleshoe, the Springlake cemetery,
cemeteries and parks in Plainview, Coleman Park in Brownfield, etc...
also feature a good mix of trees and, if you happen to be nearby,
might well be worth visiting.
Or, given my long record of accuracy in bird forecasting, we might not
get much at all.
That's what makes it fun: Anthony Hewetson
