LaFitte's Cove on Galveston started out dead but around 9 a.m. began to
see stirrings--ruby throated hummers up in numbers, yellow rumped still the
most numerous warbler. There are more male spring plumaged yellow rumped
(myrtle's) with scruffy appearance.
Other birds:
Painted Bunting, male
Indigo Bunting, male
Palm Warbler (may be same individual as last week)
Orange crowned Warbler
N. Parula
Blue gray Gnatcatcher
Brown Thrasher
Cooper's Hawk
Barn Swallow
Common Grackle
Great tailed Grackles, brown headed cowbirds
Mourning, white winged and inca doves
Mockingbirds, cardinals, house sparrows
Green winged, Blue winged Teals, Gadwalls
Corp's Woods had one each:
White eyed Vireo
Yellow throated Vireo
White crowned Sparrow
Lincoln's Sparrow
Frenchtown Road's mudflats were crowded with a good
variety of shorebirds:
Eastern & Western subspecies of Willet
Greater Yellowlegs
Short billed Dowitchers, some in breeding plumage
Black bellied Plover
Dunlin, none in breeding plumage
Semipalmated Sandpipers
Least Sandpipers
Forester's and Common Terns
Ring billed & Laughing Gulls
one Least Tern briefly
Pectoral Sandpipers (2 or 3)
Bolivar Beach has a lone Red Knot, in breeding plumage.
Many (12 or more) Least Terns here. Couldn't find any plovers but I
didn't go to the far west end because of vacationing
family camped in front and high water. 17th Street
jetty area all high water and no shorebirds.
