 Howdy Texbirders,
 Yesterday was quite the day at Estero with comfortable temperature and lots of 
birds. Migrants seemed to be lurking everywhere and even some unexpected 
species such as a Yellow-throated Vireo and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher that should 
already be gone to parts North.
  First 2 or so hours were birded from the deck and then a walk of the trails 
provided an exciting birding experience. Below is my ebird report, so if 
interested and need some of these birds for your life or year list, hurry up 
your fine self and come to Estero before these guys leave for activities 
elsewhere.
  
 
 Remember what I always say----

 Bird for your health,
 Forget your worries, 
 You'll be happierl
