I birded Bob Wentz/Windy Point Park on Lake Travis (Austin, Travis Co.) this
morning in hopes of locating several birds of interest, namely the Red-breasted
Mergansers and Horned Grebe that had been reported there recently. I succeeded
in finding both of those species. There were also 5 Common Loons and I had 2
