On Friday November 23 at around noon, Ihad a female/immature Ladder-backed
Woodpecker in Laffite's Cove,Galveston (Galveston County) in a leafless tree on
the southern edgeof the woodlot, seen from near the Pagoda. Slightly earlier,
Janahad a Black-throated Green Warbler at the central drip.
On Saturday November 24, at dusk, RossForeman, Jana and I had a Lesser
Nighthawk over Laffite's Cove. Thesilent bird was first seen over the northern
part of the Sanctuary,but after two or three minutes it moved and foraged low
over the pondacross the road from the preserve parking area for five or
tenminutes. It eventually worked further west and was lost to sight. Itwas
difficult to see the bar on the outer wing, but it appeared to becloser to the
tip than would be that of a Common Nighthawk. Thewingtip had a slightly
rounded tip. It did not call at all.
