A Lewis's Woodpecker in Burnet County, originally reported 3/29, was
consistently found this week at Reveille Peak Ranch. It was my
understanding the ranch was only open on Friday evening, Saturday and
Sunday. I see Ebird reports from 4/13,14,15,16,17, and 18. Perhaps access
was obtained from contacting: http://rprtexas.com/ ? Always the last to
know, mostly due to poor information sharing.
There was an Ebird report of a Bobolink on 4/14 on CR353 just south of the
Granger Dam in Williamson County.
A male Western Tanager was at Bastrop State Park on 4/17. A male Western
Tanager was photographed at West Bouldin Greenbelt in Travis County on
4/17,18.
3 Scarlet Tanagers were reported in South Austin 4/18. A male Scarlet at
West Bouldin and a male and a female from Nicholas Dawson Park. One lucky
observer had a three tanager species Travis County day- in MY patch!
A wintering Calliope Hummingbird, thought to have departed, popped back up
4/12 at an Austin home.
A male Lazuli Bunting was photographed at Southeast Metro Park (Travis
County Park) on 4/11 and was re-found 4/12.
A White-tailed Kite was photographed in Williamson County on 4/13.
Canada Warbler on 4/15 in Travis County seemed like an early date for the
species.
Philadelphia Vireo at a Bastrop County home on 4/12 was early.
Great Kiskadee continues to be reported from a Caldwell County private
property.
Hutton's Vireo was regular at Warbler Woods in Guadalupe County.
