I birded Deaf Smith and Parmer Counties on Saturday with a general paucity
of birds. Before departing I did see 67 FOS Turkey Vultures in Amarillo; my
first indication that spring migration is underway in the Panhandle. At
Glenrio I did have a Say's Phoebe. South of town on a prairie dog town I saw
9 Scaled Quail, my first sighting in the Panhandle for nearly four years. At
an irrigation tail water pit a small flock of McCown's Longspurs came in to
the water. The city park pond in Friona is nearly dried up but there was a
Canvasback and a 
Ruddy Duck there.
