Greetings All: Early this evening - as I prepared to go for my three mile walk ... just as the rains started - I noted a lot of small birds in my backyard sunflower patch. I decided to put the walk off for a few minutes and join the cats (strictly indoor) in a little birdwatching through the back window. In just a few minutes I picked out 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, 1 MacGillivray's Warbler, 1 Wilson's Warbler, 1 Clay-colored Sparrow, and 1 Lincoln's Sparrows. All of these are pretty good for my (very urban) yard and I suspect birdier locations in the region might be quite exciting tomorrow morning. By the by, I did get my walk in - got thoroughly soaked and felt like I was back in the beautiful Pacific Northwest:) Anthony 'Fat Tony' Hewetson; Lubbock Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
