Today’s travels through the canyon lakes, with hiking at Lake 6, yielded a few
noteworthy birds.
Around the trestle at Lake 6, I found a female Downy Woodpecker. There may have
been 2, but I believe I probably saw the same bird on both sides of the
trestle.
A very cooperative warm brown Winter Wren was in the debris washed up against
the trestle, keeping company with a Marsh Wren.
3 Blue-winged Teal flushed from just below the back causeway.
3 Brown-headed Cowbirds were feeding on the ground in the grass at Aztlan Park.
I drove by Lubbock Lake Landmark and the athletic fields. A Wilson’s Snipe was
in the drainage by the road in. Not particularly surprising. What did surprise
me was when I found two more in puddle in the gravel parking lot by the soccer
fields.
