I birded the Llano Co. shore of Lake Buchanan and county roads to the west from
8:00 am- 1:00pm yesterday (12/22/12). The effects of the drought are still very
visible and the lake is very low, attracting unseasonable shorebirds (pretty
much all at Cedar Point Rec. Area). Highlights of the 87 species from the
morning are below.
Cheers,
