Yesterday morning on the Bastrop CBC Purple Finches were singing and
calling near the intersection of Goiter and Alum Creek road...A left here
will get you on Goiter that is closed off. There is a brown house and a
gate that goes into a closed area of the park. The birds were high in
trees between the gate and the brown house. First heard and seen against
dark, rainy skies as they sang the typical song along with some vireoish
type sounds (don't confuse with the several singing Fox Sparrows
here)...There may be 5 birds but in the bad light I did not see but 2 until
they flew. ..This stretch of Goiter Rd. is closed to traffic since the
fire and you'll see why, especially in wet weather, should you try to drive
it. The area is just filthy with sparrows and other passerines in the tall
weeds between and behind the house and gate...East of Alum Ck on Goiter
were Wild Turkeys....At least two Red-headed Woodpeckers are hanging out
near intersection of Alum Ck and Park Rd. 1C and have been there for a
while......A Hairy Wood was about 300 yd.s south of Park Rd. 1C and its
intersection with Harmon Rd.....Did not bird this area well but it is
sometimes a good place to find them.
