Greetings Texbirders, Hi, my name is Adam Wood and I am once again heading up the effort in the Quintana Section of the Freeport CBC this year and I am still looking for additional counters to help me cover the area. This area includes: •The Jetty, where a good pelagic bird is always a possibility to go with the usual Surf Scoters and Northern Gannets, •The Neotropical Bird Sanctuary where a good lingering neotropical migrant warbler is sometimes found or an extralimital Groove-billed Ani, •The base of the jetty has been good a turning up an odd gull or two like Great Black-backed and Glaucous in recent years with a potential for Thayer's or California Gulls, •There are also lots of water impounds that always hold a good variety of ducks and grebes including a Horned or two. So if I have peaked your interest and this area sounds interesting to you I hope some of you all can make the count this year as it promises to be a good one. The date of the count is Sunday, December 21, 2014 and the plan will be to meet at the Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary at 7:00 AM and break into teams from there. If you need directions on how to get there please let me know and I will provide them to you. If anybody has any questions please let me know. Please respond to this email if you plan to participate in this area this year. So I may keep track of how many counters I have. Thank you.
