Hi all -
A quick note before I go away from home again. I was able to get out on
Tuesday morning to Pollywog Ponds, Tule Lake, Joe Fulton Trade Corridor, and
Hazel Bazemore County Park. The weather was nice, low winds, and you can
tall it has rained at least a little bit lately - there were mosquitos out at
Pollywog Ponds.
New Patch birds were -
Winter Wren at Pollywog Ponds. I got into a big flock of feeding Myrtle
Warblers and was sure I'd get a different warbler than the Winter 3 (Myrtle,
O-c, and ComYellowthroat), but no - only Orange-crowned and a Blue-headed Vireo
amongst them.
Immature Little Blue Heron at Tule Lake
Black-crowned Night-heron (finally!), Snowy Plover, Sanderling along Joe Fulton
Green Kingfisher (Finally x 2!!) at Hazel Bazemore Park. For the first time
since November, I did not see or hear the Black Phoebe.
Purple Martin, Chipping Sparrow, Broad-tailed Hummingbird in my yard. The
hummer is a male molting into its gorget, and the wing noise is easy to hear as
he buzzes around the yard.
Hopefully I will get some more time in the Patch next week when I'm home for
the Port Aransas Whooping Crane Festival.
