As Dave mentioned, there are plenty of Nashville and Orange-crowned warblers around. However, my experience this morning/afternoon was that there were few other migrants around. Overall, it was a pretty quiet day bird-wise. For at least a little excitement, I did have a male Scarlet Tanager that briefly made an appearance in my NW Austin backyard. There were Spotted, Baird's, Western, and Least sandpipers at Lake Travis. However, the best shorebird I had was a Semipalmated Plover at Sandy Creek Park on Lake Travis. I also thought the Rock Wren attending 2 fledglings at Sandy Creek was pretty neat.

I have seen at least 15-20 of each warblers. The really disappointing thing is that I haven't seen other types of warblers.

Little rain, but the wind and cold weather make it interesting. I see that the Cornell team is running their big day tomorrow to coincide with the front/fallout.
