. I did another round of post fire point counts at Bastrop SP this morning. Upland Sandpipers and Solitary Sandpipers streaming overhead all morning with the SE winds. Summer Tanagers are back, at least one is, a male singing nicely in a semi burned woodland. Black-and-whites and Yellow-throated Vireos were singing in earnest where the fire left areas pretty much unscathed or there is new dense undergrowth. I saw my first Gray Fox there since the 2011 fire, crossing Harmon Rd With so much shorebird activity overhead I hit a couple of locations on the way home tho it was already well past noon and the winds had really picked up. Still I was not disappointed in the Utley area, with grounded Uplands, my FOS Buff-breasteds (7), Golden Plovers, Sprague's Pipits 5-6, Broad-winged Hawks going over etc. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N.
