Billy Kaselow and I birded Southeast Travis county this afternoon. After a few days' absence, the Buff-bellied Hummingbird is back at Platt Lane, coming to both feedings and actively calling. He posed nicely for pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57637231@N04/8328704644/in/photostream/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/57637231@N04/8327646497/in/photostream/ . A very nice Harlan's Hawk was also in the area. We then headed to Elroy Road where we found the Harris's Hawk sitting on a telephone poll about 200 yards down Fagerquist Road. http://www.flickr.com/photos/57637231@N04/8328705438/in/photostream/ Right before dark, we headed to see if the FTFL was back, after negative reports from earlier today and yesterday, but unfortunately we also failed to find the Fork-tailed. Good Birding and Happy New Year, Sam Fason, Austin.
