Yes the Harris's hawks were still there today but did not show up until
around 2:15-2:30 this afternoon and then the light was all wrong for pictures.
They were in the woods on the right on the other side of the causeway as
you drive in and on the far side of the power lines. The clumps of woods
around there were very busy with Red-breasted Nuthatches, both Ruby-crowned
and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Am Goldfinches, Red-bellied Woodpeckers,
Yellow-rumped Warblers, Pine Warblers and a Brown Creeper. Down at the lagoon
there were lots of Am White Pelicans, Am Avocets, Short-billed Dowitchers (I
think), Green-winged Teal, Ruddy Ducks, Lesser Scaup and a few Northern
Shovelers. We also found one each American Pipit and Marsh Wren down at the
very
end of the point by the circular turnaround.
On the way home we went by and checked on the Baytown Bald Eagles and they
were both sitting in a pine tree close to the old nest site. Another birder
said right before we got there another juvenile bird had also been there.
Pictures here including 2 of the wet Harris's Hawks from yesterday.
