. Trolled some big tree neighborhoods in Pt. Lavaca listening for Yellow-green Vireos despite a gentle sprinkle...Dipped on those., but had a HO Kiskadee, 5 Brown-crested Flycatchers and a Parula on Willowick that I sure wish I had gotten my eyes on. Also several Couch's Kbs. Birded about half way down 316 The Purple Gallinues were present with one having two chicks along in a ditch along the hiway.. Four Fulvous Whistling Ducks and Cave Swallows were nice. At Alamo Beach I scanned Snake Is. hoping for the Flamingos in Lavaca Bay but instead found a Red-breasted Merganser! The island still had lots of birds on it At Colomo Creek there was a single Wood Stork with about 18 spoonbills. Roamed around in Port O'Connor but all I found of interest to me were a pair of Couch's Kingbirds and Brown-creasted Flycatchers. A pond on the north side off Monroe had 7 Blk-crowned Night-Herons. 11 frigatebirds were noted flying ahead of a strong thunderstorm. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N.
