number. I only kept such info back when I had more energy to do so, That
said, I do recall a 29 warblers species day on the coast, not sure if I
personally have ever had more except that Kenedy Ranch day..On one of the
Jim Sealy KR trips we did back in the day, I seem to recall 27 but that may
have been an overall trip list (?) .What I do remember well is a hefty
22-23 warbler species day in Travis and Bastrop Co. years ago which to me
is seems pretty impressive so far inland. If I recall correctly Willie,
Matt H and others had 26 just this past weekend. I am sure the Willieman,
Mel and others have busted 30 more than a time or two.
As far as Texas goes I have seen all l recorded in the state except 3
and if chose to or it made a difference in anything, I could include 2 of
those to complete the list of accepteds. IE Connecticut, Crescent-chested
(is that included in your list?) and Fan-tailed.
Years back I, I had a bird on the ground in Richard Moya Park in Travis
Co. that to this day I still feel was a Connecticut.
Petra Hockey and I heard and recorded a bird near Fort Lancaster that I
still feel was a Fan-tailed...As the vastly experienced ear birder, Bret
Whitney said "If it is not a Fan-tailed, I don't know what it is"
Songograms showed the last note of the song going in the wrong
direction...as a result it was a bit iffy to add as first state record
since we did not actually see the bird despite hearing it for a good
while...Maybe I will count that one too :-)...If so the two above would
bring it to 54
The Crescent-chested is on the state presumptive list and I have never
seen one in Texas. I assume you are including Olive Warbler here, which I
have seen in state...If they split out the Mangrove from the nominate, it
would be one I have not seen in the state.
I have many of these old wonder day records in my journals, which I still
hand write data into often....Not as easy as having it on a computer
though....I almost felt physical pain when Fred and Phil lost all their
records in fires that burned their homes.....Now I actually haul the
journals, all of them, back and forth to the coast with me. Fearing
another "Lost Pines" fire there or a hurricane here. They are the sole
earthly possession I truly would be shattered about losing. Fifty years
of life in there.
