Good Morning TexBirders,
Our female-plumaged, immature Crimson-collared Grosbeak's attraction to the
Potato Tree directly in front of our observation deck has offered visitors
beautiful views and photographs. A few moments ago a birding group were all
standing on the deck and she flew in 15 feet away, perched out in the open
on a cluster of berries, plucked one up and began eating it. Unfortunately
the strong winds whipping the Potato tree around caused her to retreat to a
sturdier branch but we feel pretty confident she'll continue this daily
routine.
Here us a youtube video I shot from the visitor center porch of her feeding
in aforementioned Potato Tree:

We are offering Guided Bird Walks every Saturday at 8am followed by
Historical Tours of the nearly-restored 1892 Rabb Plantation home at 10am.
The Sanctuary is open every day from 7am to 5pm, we hope to see you all out
here!
Happy Birding!
- Seth
