Massive flock of feeding Double-crested Cormorants also got the attention of a small group of calling Commons a some Red-breasted Mergansers. I also had the largest group of Amnerican Golden Plovers loafing on a small Island in the lake.There were several others scattered in the fields outside the State Park. Van Zandt Co. Rd. 3708 had a Long-billed Curlew for the third time in three years. Scissor-tails have arrived in mass as have the White-eyed Vireos. -----Original Message----- From: do-not-reply <do-not-reply@xxxxxxxxx> To: rdkrsh <rdkrsh@xxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, Apr 1, 2013 4:44 pm Subject: eBird Report - Lake Tawakoni State Park Hunt Co., Apr 1, 2013 Lake Tawakoni State Park Hunt Co., Hunt, US-TX Apr 1, 2013 10:15 AM - 12:15 PM Protocol: Traveling 4.0 mile(s) 71 species Wood Duck 2 Mallard 2 Blue-winged Teal 18 Northern Shoveler 2 Green-winged Teal 6 Red-breasted Merganser 20 loosely with the large group of Cormorants Common Loon 6 Horned Grebe 18 many in breeding plumage Neotropic Cormorant 24 Double-crested Cormorant 7500 a massive flock feeding out on the lake American White Pelican 155 Great Blue Heron 8 Great Egret 4 Black Vulture 75 Turkey Vulture 50 Osprey 1 Bald Eagle 1 Red-shouldered Hawk 2 American Coot 95 American Golden-Plover 225 Killdeer 12 Greater Yellowlegs 6 Upland Sandpiper 1 Least Sandpiper 6 Baird's Sandpiper 4 Pectoral Sandpiper 12 Bonaparte's Gull 75 Ring-billed Gull 95 Herring Gull 1 Forster's Tern 65 Mourning Dove 5 Great Horned Owl 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 6 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 Downy Woodpecker 6 Crested Caracara 1 Eastern Phoebe 4 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher 12 White-eyed Vireo 8 Blue Jay 6 American Crow 45 Purple Martin 12 Barn Swallow 20 Cliff Swallow 8 Carolina Chickadee 12 Tufted Titmouse 4 Carolina Wren 8 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 12 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 6 Eastern Bluebird 10 Hermit Thrush 1 American Robin 10 Northern Mockingbird 8 Brown Thrasher 2 American Pipit 2 Cedar Waxwing 12 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 12 Chipping Sparrow 15 Field Sparrow 8 Lark Sparrow 2 Savannah Sparrow 12 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 6 White-throated Sparrow 4 Northern Cardinal 12 Red-winged Blackbird 10 Common Grackle 4 Great-tailed Grackle 2 Brown-headed Cowbird 12 American Goldfinch 2 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S13599519 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org/tx) Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
