I was wishing I had more time on Saturday and Sunday (28th and 29th) as
birding seemed excellent in the hours I was out. Rain and a weak front had
the woods hopping with migrants and returning wintering birds. There were
very few reports to sort through though.
-Rarities Found This Week-
A well-described Mottled Duck made a brief stay at Hornsby Bend on 9/30 in
Travis County.
A Chestnut-sided Warbler was viewed at a north Austin home on 9/28.
-Continuing Birds From Previous Week-
The West Bouldin Greenbelt in South austin continued to host a Magnolia
Warbler and a Yellow-throated Vireo on 9/29,30. (Travis)
