Put in a morning of birding along Hog Bayou north of Hwy 35. I normally survey
open country, but when I can I enjoy sneaking through the woods looking for
lingering birds. Prothonotary and Am. Redstart were nice. Despite moderate
lowland flooding I was able to cover about 2 miles of this riparian corridor.
Lots of birds but some worrisome misses = Am. Robin, Cedar Waxwing, Am.
Goldfinch.
CBC will be held on Thursday, 15 December
