All,
Beautiful afternoon today in San Antonio. Took the day off and spent a few
hours at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center. Best find was a Baird's Sandpiper,
got great looks at it with my scope and a very cooperative bird. Other
enjoyable sightings for me were a pair of Curve-billed Thrashers - such
orange eyes - and a whole flock of White Pelicans with plumed heads and
crests forming on their bills, all lined up on a log in the sun. Myrtle
Warblers were abundant. Full ebird list below.

Best,
Nate Nye
