Hi Texbirds,
I haven't been receiving Texbirds posts, last time was Tuesday, so I'm
reading Texbirds online. I wanted to reply to John's post offline, but
email addresses are not published in the Texbirds archives and I don't know
John's address, so I've cut/pasted John's note here so I could reply to him:
///For several weeks now I have occasionally seen an adult Broad-winged Hawk
in my neighborhood (W. 29th and Woolridge above Shoal Creek) that doesn't
behave like a migrant. I saw one again this morning and I think the season
is sufficiently advanced that I can considered the possibility that it is
summering bird. A few years ago a pair nested about a half mile from here.
Also I have been hearing and seeing a pair of American Robins a bit south
of there (Harris Blvd. just north of Windsor Road. Yesterday I saw a single
bird in addition to the pair that surely seems to be breeding. The habitat
is perfect (lush, well-watered lawns, large hardwoods, etc.). I wonder
where they have been up until now.

John, in case you have interest, my son has seen a Broad-winged Hawk near
his house recently as well. He is near E. 42nd and Speedway, not all that
far from you. Also, he showed me photos of an American Robin parent feeding
its fledge in the tree in their front yard.
