Dismal day for birds and birders at Bahia Grande. Eastern Meadowlark were calling, but Cassin's Sparrow remained silent and unseen. Hoards of peeps way out with no chance of an ID but that means migration is underway. Pintail continues to be most abundant duck. Nice find was the Red-breasted Mergansers. 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 NWR--Bahia Grande Unit, Feb 23, 2015 To: dkelly163@xxxxxxxxx Laguna Atascosa NWR--Bahia Grande Unit, Cameron, US-TX Feb 23, 2015 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: Traveling 15.0 mile(s) Comments: Cold, misty, windy 29 species (+1 other taxa) Northern Pintail 300 Red-breasted Merganser 6 Double-crested Cormorant 7 American White Pelican 75 Great Blue Heron 4 Great Egret 2 Tricolored Heron 1 Reddish Egret 8 White Ibis 7 Turkey Vulture 1 Osprey 2 White-tailed Kite 2 Northern Harrier 2 White-tailed Hawk 3 Spotted Sandpiper 1 Greater Yellowlegs 7 Long-billed Curlew 1 peep sp. 350 Ring-billed Gull 2 Forster's Tern 4 Crested Caracara 3 American Kestrel 2 Loggerhead Shrike 2 White-eyed Vireo 2 Horned Lark 52 Cactus Wren 2 Curve-billed Thrasher 2 Northern Mockingbird 8 Savannah Sparrow 24 Eastern Meadowlark 23 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22045507 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org) -- Donna and Alvin Kelly RV Volunteers Home is where you park it!
