Another dreary morning for the tour to West Lake Road but the birds were moving and some were very vocal. The lake continues to be covered with Coots and Ruddy Duck with massive rafts of Pied-billed Grebe. I only counted the closest ones that were positively ID'd. Bird tours only continue through March 30 and 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: Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 1:44 PM Subject: eBird Trail Tracker Report - Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Mar 1, 2015 To: dkelly163@xxxxxxxxx Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Cameron, US-TX Mar 1, 2015 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: eBird Trail Tracker Comments: West Lake Road to Guzzler 61 species Gadwall 4 American Wigeon 8 Blue-winged Teal 7 Northern Shoveler 8 Northern Pintail 1 Redhead 6 Lesser Scaup 12 Bufflehead 3 Ruddy Duck 18 Northern Bobwhite 7 Pied-billed Grebe 59 Neotropic Cormorant 1 Double-crested Cormorant 1 American White Pelican 14 Great Blue Heron 1 Great Egret 4 Tricolored Heron 11 Black-crowned Night-Heron 1 White Ibis 13 Black Vulture 1 Turkey Vulture 4 Osprey 2 Northern Harrier 2 White-tailed Hawk 2 Sora 2 Common Gallinule 1 American Coot 350 Killdeer 3 Long-billed Curlew 7 Forster's Tern 4 Common Ground-Dove 7 White-tipped Dove 3 Greater Roadrunner 8 Ladder-backed Woodpecker 4 American Kestrel 1 Eastern Phoebe 2 Vermilion Flycatcher 2 Couch's Kingbird 2 White-eyed Vireo 11 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 10 Purple Martin 12 Tree Swallow 12 Barn Swallow 15 Verdin 2 Bewick's Wren 2 Cactus Wren 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2 Curve-billed Thrasher 4 Long-billed Thrasher 9 Northern Mockingbird 39 Orange-crowned Warbler 2 Common Yellowthroat 4 Yellow-rumped Warbler 23 Olive Sparrow 4 Savannah Sparrow 6 Lincoln's Sparrow 3 Northern Cardinal 7 Pyrrhuloxia 1 Red-winged Blackbird 56 Eastern Meadowlark 17 Great-tailed Grackle 6 -- Donna and Alvin Kelly RV Volunteers Home is where you park it!
