Howdy Texbirders
June 11, 2016 Red-vented Bulbul Survey, Heights area, Houston Texas.
Citizen Science Project of the Houston Audubon Society, Fred Collins and
Kendra Kocab, Bulbul Survey Detectors organizers.
The report is a good read and I thank Fred, Kendra, et. al. for their
effort.
Sooo,
This morning I decided to chase a couple of exotics (Bronze Mannakin and
Scaly-breasted Munia) that were recently posted on eBird (yep, the
directions are available on eBird). Both species were present. After I
left, Michael Cooper, who was also at the site, scored a Pin-tailed Wydah.
Of note, there are a few churches within one mile from where these exotics
have been observed. The release of birds after a wedding by members of the
wedding party is popular at some churches. A possible endless supply of
released cage birds for the area. Those folks ought to release some
Gouldian Finches : )
