After a successful flamingo run today (missed them twice last week), I stopped
in at Formosa Tejano Wetlands for a quick look. Some good birds there.
At the stop on the east side of Hwy 172, from the observation tower, there were
9 cackling geese in a mixed flock of Speckled-bellies and Snow Geese. Further
in the marsh there was an adult Bald Eagle enjoying an aviary dinner.
A bit further north at the big marsh on the west side of Hwy 172, there was a
Least Grebe, a Canvasback, a Ring-necked Duck and lots of Pintails, some teal
and Ruddy Ducks. A Sora called and 2 Vermilion Flycatchers were showing
nicely. There were 6 species of sparrows scattered about. On the way out,
there was a Merlin enjoying its dinner and a handsome. Bobcat feasting on a
cottontail dinner. Very enjoyable stop at Tejano Wetlands.
Good birding!
