TEXBirds,
Ill be in San Antonio on business in a couple of weeks and tacked on the
weekend before to do some birding. I have a few target birds I want to check
off. I am looking for the following:
Mountain PloverSpragues pipitAplomado FalconWhite-collared SeedeaterAudubons
OrioleLark BuntingTropical ParulaCrimson-collared GrosbeakZone-tailed
hawkEgyptian gooseI looked in eBird for recent sightings. Below is what my
plan is. My question to the list is does my plan makes sense. Are these the
best places to locate these birds? Any better place that I am missing or any
tips, suggestions, etc.?
I may revise after checking where they are being seen after this weekend's
eBird sightings.
Plover: King Ranch Laureles Division or King Ranch visitor center
Pipit: King Ranch Laureles Division or King Ranch visitor center, Laguna
Astascosa Bahia Grande, Anzalduas Park
Aplomado Falcon: Laguna Atascosa NWR, Laguna Atascosa NWR--Bayside Drive
Bahia Grande, Cameron Co.--Hwy100--Aplomado Viewing Area, Old Port Isabel Rd
Audubons Oriole: Mitchell Lake Audubon Center

riverfront, Salineño, Laredo- Las Palmas Trail & Zacate Creek
White-collared Seedeater: Laredo- Las Palmas Trail & Zacate Creek
Lark Bunting: Bexar Co.--Hardy/Mathis Rd. (E. of I-37), Bentsen
Tropical Parula: Frontera or estero llano if still there
Crimson-collared Grosbeak: Frontera Audubon Center, seen daily see if still
true in 2 weeks
Zone-tailed hawk: Frontera, check and see of still there.
Egyptian goose: Live Oak City Pk, Landa Park SA area, San
Antonio--Brackenridge Park--Joske Pavilion & Lambert Beach
My plan is stay in Harlingen and work Frontera, Ki ng Ranch, Laguan Astascosa
the first day, maybe LA again day two then up through Zapata, back to San Anton
that night.
Goose and bunting I can try for out of San Anton before meetings on a given day
