The week before Tom and I went out, I had a couple of photographers on
Laureles, and we had a dark phase Ferruginous Hawk.

This past week on two different trips to the agricultural area of the King
Ranch's Laureles Div. in Kleberg Co. have yielded an interesting array of
open country birds including quite a good number of raptors.
On Tuesday, 11/10, Jim Sinclair & I visited the area and found 5 burrowing
owls and 9 Sprague's pipits (with some walking beside vehicle) and 12
species of raptors (with owl 13 species) which included 5 falcon species
(crested caracara, American kestrel, merlin, prairie & peregrine falcon).
We had hoped to find the 80+ mountain plovers Jim had out there last week,
but no luck.
On Thursday, 11/12, Janice Travis & I briefly visited the area again and
did locate 26 mountain plovers. Other birds of interest sighted included 1
Swainson's hawk, 55+ black-bellied plovers, a burrowing owl, and 2
Sprague's pipits. The pipits gave nice looks as they were walking in the
grass along the road adjacent to our vehicle.
Total raptor species for the week on the Laureles div. so far would thus
be 14 which isn't too bad.
