Howdy,
On Saturday, May 4 I spent a couple hours walking the mile-long trail through
the new southern section of the Charlie's Pasture Nature Preserve in Port
Aransas. Surprisingly even though there were many birders in town, I was the
only one on the trail. I think it's an under-birded new trail, and I think it
has some important birds and mud flats habitat to monitor. I found Snowy,
Piping, Wilson's, and Semipalmated plovers. The most numerous sandpipers were
Semipalmated and Stilt. Some of the sandpipers and plovers allow close
approaches from the trail, offering a great opportunities to compare these
confusing species. Even so, a spotting scope is required for recording complete
lists. Here's my species list:
