Away from refs, but from memory, outliers have been found from Brewster
Co. Eldorado to Gonzales to Refugio to Goose Is. to Brazoria. That's one
big arc. Like Tim , I try to keep the Handbook marked up with such
things, but have not heard of any real notables recently....Several years
back I heard one singing near the old hospital in Hebbronville from the
property where all the palms are (private). I posted on it at the time as I
was unsure of a county record.

Jim Wells County is very lightly birded these days. I would guess it
is still using the old filters and has never been updated. I saw your
record of the Thrush's in eBird. If you do a search in eBird for
Clay-colored thrush you will see that are pretty far out of the
regular reports.
My guess is these birds are actually more common in the right habitat
in that part of the state, but since that is a lightly birded part of
the state and there isn't much access they don't get detected very
often.

In a small world kind of moment, my Dad, stepmom and I also visited Lakeitems
Findley Park this past weekend. We were there late Friday evening and saw
two Clay-colored Thrushes, both of which were actively carrying food
into one of the large live oaks just below the dam. We commented on howit
would be nice to get photos but I had brilliantly forgot my camera athome,
so no photos of thrushes or any other bird over the weekend. In anycase,
they seem to have an active nest. I entered them into eBird with nono
questions asked, so didn't think too much more about it. eBird also did
not burp at my entry of 50 Couch's Kingbirds which surprised me as I had
idea they congregated in such large numbers.<javascript:;>> wrote:

You know, those Clay-colored Thrush are actually pretty significant,
They might even be a first county record., I bet Jim Peterson would
love a photo if you got one.

AliceSpeaking of cuckoos, about a week ago I stopped by Lake Findley in
Groove-billedto see what was up. On the entrance road, there were three
callAnis and a Roadrunner having a clucking contest. I also heard an ani
calledthat I hadn't heard before, kind of a high whistle they gave as they
calling -across the road to each other. Maybe a young one calling his parent?
squirrel, Lark Sparrow foraging under a tree, Northern Bob White
Also of note, a pair of Clay-colored Thrushes trying to intimidate a
permissionand seen - and Northern Mockingbirds to beat the band.
