Yesterday I found an adult mute swan in a large pond, right side of highway 290 between Bauer and Becker exits. This pond always has a collection of coots, ducks and egrets. With a lot of underwater vegetation, maybe this bird will hang around a while. Katy Prairie is very dry, no grasspipers out other than I did find four golden plovers at Paul Rushing Park. Really empty, no sparrows, hawks, etc. Carolyn Dill Houston 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
