Hey Dennis and John, great spot! I will be birding west galveston all
morning until the wind changes, then I'm headed to Lafitte's for the
migrants! If anyone would like to join me, I will be out in a silver jeep
wrangler. I don't have a spotting scope though, so if anyone happens to
have one that will be birding the area, it would be appreciated!
