Hi, all!
We had a three-day weekend at work so decided to head up to one of my
favorite spots: Aransas NWR! Highlights include a couple of Whoopers (first
time I had actually seen them from the tower), Merlin, singing Sedge Wren
and Seaside Sparrows, and a Flicker; and at Goliad SP and vicinity, Carolina
Chickadee, two Couch's Kingbirds, and great looks at a classic "Dixon's"
Titmouse! Full trip report (with photos and recordings) is here:
