 Hey Texbirders,
 Rather large group of birders going out this morning with Dave, Steve, John 
and myself with some beautiful weather and lots of great birds. Our Sunday 
morning walk, tomorrow, we'll do it all again. So if the list below interests 
you to see what we may seen again, come on down. We start calling out birds 
from the deck at 8 AM and leave at 8:30 on the walk. Our Common Pauraques are 
always a hit for first time birders to the valley. The moment they are able to 
pick it out from the leaf litter, I hear," ooooooh or awwwwww", then I know 
they are on it. Lots of ducks on Ibis Pond that are just in front of the deck 
with easy viewing for those that are not able to walk the trails, so come on 
out. Everyone tells us what a great place to just sit and watch the birds.  
What are you waiting for? Remember what I always say,

 Bird for your health,
 Forget your worries,
 You'll be happier.
