A beautiful day on Laguna Atascosa NWR for the last bird tour of the season on this unit. We traveled County Road and across Water Crossing #1 to West Lake Road. The wind may have kept some of the smaller birds down, but it seems many of the winter birds have gone north and the summer birds haven't returned yet. DC Cormorant were migrating in large flocks. Very few ducks remain and all the remaining Coots are concentrated in large rafts. The alligators were out in numbers, too, as were other reptiles, Indigo and Western Diamondback. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <ebird-checklist@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, Mar 29, 2015 at 1:26 PM Subject: eBird Trail Tracker Report - Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Mar 29, 2015 To: dkelly163@xxxxxxxxx Laguna Atascosa NWR (LTC 024), Cameron, US-TX Mar 29, 2015 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: eBird Trail Tracker Comments: West Lake Road to guzzler and back 48 species Blue-winged Teal 10 Northern Shoveler 12 Lesser Scaup 10 Ruddy Duck 6 Pied-billed Grebe 32 Neotropic Cormorant 2 Double-crested Cormorant 64 Anhinga 2 Great Blue Heron 5 Great Egret 11 Snowy Egret 1 Little Blue Heron 2 Green Heron 1 Yellow-crowned Night-Heron 3 White Ibis 8 Turkey Vulture 7 Osprey 2 Northern Harrier 1 Harris's Hawk 3 White-tailed Hawk 2 Sora 5 Common Gallinule 1 American Coot 291 Killdeer 2 Long-billed Curlew 1 Laughing Gull 11 Forster's Tern 1 Common Ground-Dove 2 Mourning Dove 7 Greater Roadrunner 3 Golden-fronted Woodpecker 2 Ladder-backed Woodpecker 1 Crested Caracara 2 American Kestrel 1 Couch's Kingbird 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher 2 White-eyed Vireo 5 Marsh Wren 2 Bewick's Wren 1 Gray Catbird 1 Long-billed Thrasher 2 Northern Mockingbird 24 Common Yellowthroat 2 Olive Sparrow 2 Swamp Sparrow 1 Northern Cardinal 2 Red-winged Blackbird 53 Eastern Meadowlark 27 -- Donna Kelly Home is where you park it!
