Maggie Burnett and I had a quiet but productive morning at Hornsby
Bend today (23 Sept).  The woods on the Platt side of the property had
a very vocal Couch's Kingbird near the old Platt house and a
first-year Tennessee Warbler near the main trail as you get close to
Platt Pond.  The real highlight was an American Golden-Plover
(photographed) which was vocalizing before landing in the drying
basins just north of the ponds.

Back at home (off Southwest Pkwy in SW Austin), a Red-breasted
Nuthatch continues for the third consecutive day, coming into the
regular feeder and also drinking from the hummingbird feeder's water
moat.
