I got out to various NW Austin (Travis/Williamson cos.) sites this weekend
hoping to capitalize on post cold front birds. Well, there were some migrants
around, but it turned out, overall, to be less interesting than I had hoped.
My best results came from birding Lake Creek Trail (Williamson Co.) early this
(9/29) afternoon, where I managed to kick a few firsts of the season. The full
list is provided below. A few other highlights included a Northern Parula at
Brushy Creek Sports Park (Williamson Co.) on 9/28 and a Sora in the cattail
marsh at the north end of Lake Creek Trail on 9/28.
