Same here in Austin. I had numerous migrants this afternoon over the yard.
Between about 2:30 and 6 pm, I had right at 1000 Turkey Vultures including
one large stream of 852 birds. Other migrants included Swainson's and
Sharp-shinned Hawks, American Kestrels, Sandhill Cranes, American White
Pelicans, Double-crested Cormorants, and one Anhinga. It was a good day to
not be at work!

TexBirders,
After I left Kingsville earlier this am and heading to Lake Findley near
Alice (Jim Wells Co) I stopped numerous times along the way to scan the
many kettles (hundreds of birds total) of Turkey Vultures plus a scattering
of Swainsons, Broad-winged, Coopers & Sharp-shinned Hawks. Unfortunately
Lake Findley is closed because of flooding but I’m here currently watching
at the gate and more mixed kettles are passing over including about 50
Greater White-fronted Geese. Pretty amazing morning for me, just wish the
park was open.
Good birding,
Tom Langschied
Currently north of Alice
