Howdy Texbirders,
There are Baltimore Orioles all over this area of west Houston. I live one
mile from Houston Audubon's Edith L. Moore Sanctuary. At ELM, I had some
Sycamores festooned with primarily Baltimore, but there was an Orchard
present. As I rode my bike home, I saw orioles along the way and at our
condo, I had a couple of trees with seventeen orioles in them. There are
orioles now outside my window. A very impressive migration. Additionally,
at ELM, I saw 13 species of warblers and there were two other species seen,
by other birders, that I missed. Also, around ELM were Wood and Swainson's
Thrushes, Gray Catbird, Philadelphia and Red-eyed Vireo, Rose-breasted
Grosbeaks and Indigo Buntings and 15 Mississippi Kites and 2 Broad-winged
Hawk lifted off and headed north. It was a wonderful morning and I met
some nice birders (some who were on the Wednesday bird walk led by Bethany
Foshee) who probably saw even more species.
A great time to be back on the UTC (Upper Texas Coast)
