Jumped my usual route today for some different birding. One Canada Warbler was my favorite of the morning. In Giant Ragweed there were a variety of birds including my FOF Wilson's Warbler, Yellows, a few Nashvilles and some empids tho not many. Loads of Gnatcatchers. On Sayers Rd. there Uplands, then Uplands and then More Uplands...Likely pushing 180-200. There were a few Buff-breasted Sandies but only around a dozen. A Yellow-headed Blackbird was in a mixed blackbird flock at the cattle pens on Sayer's Rd.. 31 Caracaras were searching for something in one of the large pastures but they were somewhat distant and I could not make out what it was they were going after 2 Broad-winged Hawks, 1 Black Tern and about 14 Mississippi Kites were roughly in the same area . A singing Red-eyed Vireo on old Sayer's Rd. seemed quite late to me 1 Gray Fox. Zero traffic on Old Sayer's Rd. it was nice. Stopped by Fisherman's Park in Bastrop very briefly to look/listen for the Kiskadee but dipped on that but it was already getting late in the morning by then. A pair of Least Grebe remain on a private pond as of yesterday evening. -- Brush Freeman Independent and affiliated Field Biologist 361-655-7641 http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas The greatest musician of all time is mother nature.
