TexBirders,
Another great day at Smith Point. 12 Swallow-tailed Kites today which is
fantastic for this late in the season. Many Baltimore Orioles passing
through, 6 Olive-sided Flycatchers in view at once, 200 or so Anhingas and
200-300 Wood Storks early. Numbers will be picking up over the next two
weeks. Come on out and enjoy it! Our regular counter arrived today and was
treated to a couple Swallow-tailed Kites low over the tower late in the
afternoon. Welcome to Texas Tony!
