Greetings All:
I completed
the Dougherty BBS yesterday. This route runs from Dougherty westward to and
beyond Floydada. Recent rains had filled some of the playas but few water
birds were noted - too little, too late? The experience was similar to the
other four routes I've run so far this year: Eastern Meadowlarks really
standing out against the relatively poor numbers of Western Meadowlarks - and
still no freaking Dickcissels ... even though this is my very best route,
historically, for the species.
