Good afternoon Texbirders...we were joined by 13 enthusiatic birders
today. Some had not been here before and enjoyed many "life" birds and
great photography! Our highlights: Soaring Gray Hawk, Green Kingfisher,
good looks at Marsh Wren, Merlin chasing a Great Kiskadee, 2 Common
Pauraque, and among the mixed flocks a Northern Parula. Not seen on our
birdwalk, but by others a Black-throated Gray Warbler.
We will present "Birding Adventures in Ecuador/Galapagos Islands" at 2:00PM
in the Santa Ana NWR Auditorium, today.
