The first 3 pictures here were from the Anahuac NWR area on Sunday 12./15
and the Am Bittern was from the corner of FM 1985 and Pear Orchard Rd in
Chambers Co. There were 7 Bronze Cowbirds at the entrance building there. We
made this trip from via Fairview rd to FM 1945 to FM 1985 and I believe I
counted 12 Red-tailed Hawks either flying or sitting on poles. Inside the
refuge there were at least 6 more. There were two Krider's one in the refuge
and one up on Fairview and one lone very dark bird with a pale tail that
was just to far to get any details on also on Fairview.
The last 3 pictures were from the Galveston CBC 12/17/13. If you don't look
at anything but the Gadwall pictures check it out because I believe it is
a Gadwall X Mallard cross. It has a perfect white ring around it's neck
right where it should be on a Mallard. This duck was in the pond that is under
the 4 way bridge that goes to Pelican Island and by the rail road tracks.
