Our day started with sunshine but that quickly faded to grey overcast skies. Passerines were cooperative as long as the sun was shining with Verdin, Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped Warbler, and White-eyed Vireo. Swallows were mere silhouettes against a bleak sky, but they are beginning to appear in numbers. Green Herons and Black-crowned Night-Heron were nice additions. Tours are beginning to fill up so call for reservations. 956-748-3607 X111. Tours Thursday - Monday 8:30 - 12, Friday at 1 PM alternating between Bahia Grande and Laguna Atascosa. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <ebird-checklist@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 4:26 PM Subject: eBird Report - Laguna Atascosa Birding Van Tour, Feb 22, 2015 To: dkelly163@xxxxxxxxx Laguna Atascosa Birding Van Tour, Cameron, US-TX Feb 22, 2015 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM Protocol: Traveling 14.0 mile(s) Comments: West Lake Road, windy but some sun 45 species (+1 other taxa) Gadwall 5 Northern Shoveler 11 Northern Pintail 20 Lesser Scaup 2 Bufflehead 3 Ruddy Duck 55 Pied-billed Grebe 12 Double-crested Cormorant 6 Great Blue Heron 2 Great Egret 14 Snowy Egret 1 Tricolored Heron 1 Green Heron 3 Black-crowned Night-Heron 1 White Ibis 12 Black Vulture 1 Turkey Vulture 8 Osprey 3 Harris's Hawk 4 White-tailed Hawk 2 Sora 3 American Coot 300 Forster's Tern 1 Mourning Dove 1 Greater Roadrunner 1 Golden-fronted Woodpecker 5 Crested Caracara 3 American Kestrel 1 Eastern Phoebe 1 Vermilion Flycatcher 1 Couch's Kingbird 3 White-eyed Vireo 9 Green Jay 1 swallow sp. 25 Verdin 2 Cactus Wren 4 Curve-billed Thrasher 2 Long-billed Thrasher 2 Northern Mockingbird 18 Orange-crowned Warbler 3 Yellow-rumped Warbler 7 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Northern Cardinal 3 Red-winged Blackbird 2 Eastern Meadowlark 5 Altamira Oriole 2 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22045334 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org) -- Donna Kelly Home is where you park it!
