Thanks Laurie: That is an impressive growth and I was not aware it had
grown so much. I rec'ed a few private replies that they have been detected
in Round Rock, are regular in Williamson Co. including almost gaily at
private feeders and one report of them being in Hays Co (San Marcos) and as
stated early, they have appeared rarely in Bastrop. ....So it would appear
that the population is much larger than just the Austin CBC circle. I
recall a big discussion when Austin wished to remove nests from light
towers etc...Not sure that ever happened.
