Hello everyone,
I've been struggling with the same and going through my Dad's old records,
which are notes he wrote in his first edition Texas Peterson Guide.
I found an old record in his guide from Oct. 1967 of a Masked Duck at
Anahuac. Even thou, I was only 7, I have a vivid memory of seeing that duck
with the striped face and the line of others there to see it. It might have
been an ONC field trip, which he was active in.
I also can remember seeing with him, a White-winged Scoter and a Greater
Scaup on a cold rainy day, but all he has written down is Cooling ponds. I
assume it's the old HL&P cooling pond, that is now called Dutton Lake on
the north edge of Trinity Bay. I remember a line of cars, so it must've
been an ONC field trip.
I found in my Dad's book collection, a copy of "Good Birding Trips" from
the Ornithology Group of the ONC, Compiled by Pat Sullivan and Katrina
Ladwig from 1967. Pretty cool.
