Tad, D.D.,
I am not surprised that the Ruddy Turnstone was a first county record for
D.D., even though she has often birded Freestone County.
In fact, the Ruddy Turnstone is a first county record - period. I have a
pretty complete database for the county and I just checked eBird to see if I
have missed anything. Surprisingly, though, I see a recent submission to
eBird for adjacent Navarro County which reports a RUTU in that county 24
August.
Freestone County is a the northern edge of the Central Brazos Valley and
RUTU rarely visits this inland region. There are only 9 records for the
region, the earliest in 1965.

... we are pleased we put D.D. on a county bird and add to her list
realizing that some of these may be common birds for the area.
