Howdy! Hutton's Vireo just seen in my back yard at Fort Clark Springs, Kinney County. First I've personally seen off the plateau. This is a follow-up to the one that was reported earlier in the fall at another location on Fort Clark by Sheridan Coffey and Martin Reid. Red-breasted Nuthatch and Winter Wren continue as well, and all three birds are officially documented for the Fort Clark Springs CBC count week (count is on the 29th, meet at Burger and Shake in Brackettville at 7:30) Also of note in the area, Kathy Bader has reported the return of a Sage Thrasher to it's favorite spot on her property just a few miles west of town, and I had a Barn Owl screeching there two nights ago. snapshot of birds seen in ten minutes of birding from the porch just now: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S21032925 Happy holidays and CBC season!
