Texbirder's
This morning I spent about 3 hours birding some of the areas on the Santa
Gertrudis Div. of King Ranch and all the areas I visited were west of
Kingsville in Kleberg Co. Certainly the highlight of the day for me was at the
beginning at the King Ranch Visitor Center grounds when while checking out a
mixed flock of small songbirds (primarily gnatcatchers, titmice, & two vireo
species), I found an adult male prairie warbler. Other highlights included a
burrowing owl & Sprague's pipit that have been present in that same area as
last month. Further below is the complete list of birds encountered.
Good birding,
