Greetings All: I led, for the most part, a Llano Estacado Audubon Society field trip to Clapp Park in Lubbock this morning. Attending were Tom Dolan, Toni Dolan, Ellen Hildebrandt, Jan Jannett, Jim Kringle, Jennifer Miller, and Janice Whittington. Songbirds got short shrift as the group mostly worked on getting solid on both female and male plumage on all the ducks seen. The group managed to get eyes on the following from 8:00 to 10:00. It was a good morning and everybody appeared to have a good time. 6 Cackling Geese 219 Canada Geese 1 Wood Duck 21 Gadwalls 68 American Wigeons 238 Mallards 1 Mexican Mallard x Mallard hybrid 4 Northern Shovelers 27 Northern Pintails 6 Redheads 5 Ring-necked Ducks 4 Lesser Scaups 3 Buffleheads 2 Ruddy Ducks 2 Pied-billed Grebes 17 American Coots 26 Rock Pigeons 14 Eurasian Collared Doves 2 White-winged Doves 1 Mourning Dove 1 American Kestrel 1 Merlin 3 Marsh Wrens 6 Song Sparrows 1 Swamp Sparrow 2 Red-winged Blackbirds 1 meadowlark 4 Great-tailed Grackles 1 Eastern Gray Squirrel Anthony 'Fat Tonyu' Hewetson, Lubbock Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
