With 0.20 inches of rain during the month, well below the average March
total of 0.76 inches, Lubbock is now at 0.59 inches for the year, well
short of the average year-to-date total of 1.97 inches ... and conditions
are dry enough in most of the region to start bringing back memories of
all-too-recent drought. Waterfowl continued to stage at remaining wetlands
in good numbers, shorebirds started their push through the region a bit
earlier than expected, and area birders even posted some surprising
songbird sightings.
I am unable to create a usable summary of eBird data of sightings in the
region during the period covered - IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE AVAILABLE.
Comments at the end of each species summary have been adjusted, to the best
of my abilities, to reflect this reduction in reports. I have done my best
to track all reports of the Common Cranes in Terry County.
As always, the county follows the site in ( ) and birds are mentioned by
virtue of rarity, atypical abundance, or atypical scarcity.

THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS; ALL OTHERS WOULD BE 'EDGE' BIRDS FROM THE 'HILL

SIGHTINGS, CONSIDERING HOW POOR THE WINTER WAS FOR LONGSPURS.
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER: 1 at Running Water Draw (Hale) on 3/14/16 (NP) -
UNLESS THIS WAS AN OVER-LOOKED WINTERING BIRD, THIS WOULD BE AN EARLY DATE
FOR A MIGRANT THROUGH OUR REGION.

at Wayland Baptist University (Hale) on 3/24/16 (NP) the only reports -

FIND; THE FIRST MARCH RECORD OF THE SPECIES FOR THE REGION!
GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE: 1 along Alamo Road (Hockley) on 3/6/16 (AH) - ABOUT

TIME AND THE TYPICAL, SO FAR, LOW NUMBERS.
SWAMP SPARROW: 1 at the Reese Center Playa (Lubbock) on 3/12/16 (AH) - AS
THIS SPECIES WAS IN LOW NUMBERS DURING WINTER AND PRETTY MUCH VANISHED IN
FEBRUARY, THIS MIGHT BE AN EARLY PASSAGE BIRD.
FOX SPARROW: 1 in Whiteflat (Motley) on 3/28/16 (NP) the only report -
ANOTHER EARLY DEPARTURE FROM THE REGION.
