Greetings All:
I completed my first of six Breeding Bird Surveys yesterday. The Post
route is in Garza County and runs from roughly ten miles west of Post to
roughly fourteen miles northeast of Post - on a route paralleling Highway
380 into town and then on FM 651 out of town.
Things were slow (due to relatively dry conditions and on ongoing heat
wave) but I did manage a few highlights including 1 Scaled Quail well west
of Post, 4 Cave Swallows well west of post, 9 Scaled Quails west of Post, 4
Cave Swallows west of Post, 4 Northern Rough-winged Swallows just west of
Post, 8 Cave Swallows just west of Post, 1 Bell's Vireo on the western edge
of town, 1 Pyrrhuloxia on the western edge of town, 3 Purple Martins over
Post, 5 Cave Swallows just northeast of Post, 2 Cave Swallows further
northeast of Post, 1 Verdin even further northeast of Post, 2 Cave Swallows
still further northeast of Post, 2 male Bronzed Cowbirds still and still
further northeast of Post, and 1 Common Raven quite near the end of the
route.
A full report will be posted when I gather together enough energy to pull
together all fifty stops.
