Today I birded Lake Tawakoni Hunt Rains and Van Zandt Cos. Highlights were: In Lake Tawakoni S.P. 1 Bald Eagle, 1 Common Loon. Good numbers of Pine Siskins and Golden-crowned Kinglets. At Holiday Marina and the public boat launch in Van Zandt Co. 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull, and incredible for here 32 Herring Gulls. There were many gulls way out on the lake that I couldnt id. Also 44 loons 40 were Commons the others were too distant to id. 2-3 Horned Grebes and 1 Black-bellied Plover. In the woods behind the spillway a mixed flock of 50-75 American Goldfinches and Pine Siskins. On the Rains Co. beach a Snowy Plover, a fairly late Stilt Sandpiper and 1 Sprague's Pipit. There are large numbers of Gulls scattered all over the lake and most are moving around a lot.
