Texbirders,
My internet was down until about 15 minutes ago, or I would have posted
this yesterday when I returned from seeing the B-T Godwit. First, thank you
Ron Weeks for your great observation and bird id skills and for being so
alert and focused on the identification of this incredible bird!
A Cinnamon and Green-winged Teal were in the same scope view with the B-T
Godwit. The pond on the east side of CR227 was full of Egrets and
Spoonbills when we arrived and the light was gorgeous. Then about 6:00pm a
group
of 8 or so Wood Storks arrived and began scooping up and scarfing down good
sized fish. Then surprise...a spoonbill caught what looked to be a 5 or 6
inch fish, struggled with it, then swallowed it down.
There are other good birds with the B-T Godwit, what else can we find :)
