The Painted Redstart is still in the trees near the visitor center at Aransas
NWR. Also the two Long-tailed Ducks are mixing with Horned Grebes near the
fishing pier section of the refuge.
Other birds of interest:
Canada Goose - one bird mixing with a large flock of pintails and redheads in
San Antonio Bay near the Observation Tower.
Dark-eyed Junco - near parking area by Dagger Point (observed by Ron Weeks and
Petra Hockey-great find!)
Baltimore Oriole - hanging in same location as the painted redstart
Black Scoter - still a group distantly observable from the Dagger Point area
Spotted Towhee - several being found along the Heron Flats Trail and other
brushy spots scattered along ther refuge drive
Red-headed Woodpecker - pops up intermittently by front gate - young bird
starting to acquire a full red head
Indigo Bunting - immature bird along Heron Flats Trail
Whooping Crane - two being observed at Heron Flats Trail and two at the
Observation Tower
Please be on the lookout for raptors and sparrows; there is good potential here
for any of these species in the coming months.
Just a reminder, our Christmas Bird Count will be held on Wednesday, December
18 starting at 6:00 am. If anyone is interested please let me know by sending
