Here are the results from the Baytown Nature Center Bird Count for this
Month. We had one mystery bird we are calling a Solitary Sandpiper until
someone who knows shorebirds better can tell us otherwise. I am attaching a
link
to our web site with two pictures and maybe someone can help. The bird was
about Solitary Sandpiper size and it is not a Least Sandpiper.
I would like to remind everyone the bird count next month will resume on
the third Thursday of each month. Starting in June we will start at 7 AM to
beat the heat but next month is still 8AM.
