Below is the checklist from the Baytown Nature Center Bird Count on
11/20/14. The things that jumped out at us were the large number of House Wrens
and the lower number of Carolina Wrens than usual. Dove numbers were way down
and Shorebirds up. 35 was the largest number of Semi-palmated Plovers I
have ever seen there. Also Pelicans of both species and Pied-billed Grebes
were both low. Both Reddish Egrets were still present with one red and one
white. One Nelson's Sparrow was present on the boardwalk across the marshy
area found by Ray Porters group. Jan and I had jumped that bird a week or so
ago and at the time I was pretty sure it was the Nelson's but did not get a
good enough look at it to be sure.
