Greetings All:
On Sunday, 7 September 2014, I spent 2.5 hours at Clapp Park (1.5 of them
with Ross Rickett) in Lubbock - as the rains slowly tapered off and birds
started popping up. Ross left just before the first few beams of sun
appeared and missed out on the 'crashing of the smartweed' and the counting
of the sparrows and buntings.
All in all, 56 species were noted including 1 Yellow-crowned Night Heron
(both), 1 Virginia Rail (heard by RR, seen by AH), 1 Cooper's Hawk (AH), 1
Broad-winged Hawk (AH), 8 Greater Yellowlegs (both - barely), 1 Peregrine
Falcon (both), 1 Olive-sided Flycatcher (both), 4 Western Wood Pewees
(both) , 4 Least Flycatchers (both), 2 Willow Flycatchers (AH), 1 Great
Crested Flycatcher (both), 1 House Wren (AH), 1 Ovenbird (both), 2
Black-and-white Warblers (Both), 1 Orange-crowned Warbler (AH), 3 Common
Yellowthroats (one by both, two more by AH), 11 Yellow Warblers (most by
both), 1 adult female Black-throated Green Warbler (AH), 19 Wilson's
Warblers (most by both), 1 Spotted Towhee (both), 1 Clay-colored Sparrow
(both), 1 Brewer's Sparrow (both), 2 Lincoln's Sparrows (AH), 1 female
Western Tanager (AH), 1 Indigo Bunting (AH), 34 Painted Buntings (included
for numbers), 3 male Bronzed Cowbirds (AH), and 1 female American Goldfinch
(AH).
