TexBirders,Rex and Birgit Stanford and I birded South Padre Island yesterday (Wednesday August 22nd). As has been previously reported on TexBirds, migrants have begun their annual southward travels. We were rewarded with 21 shorebird species, 4 warblers, and a "bunch" of flycatchers (perhaps as many as 4 or 5 species, including 2 or 3 Empidonax flycatchers).
Photos, comments, and a plea for ID help can be seen at: www.otterside.com/fall2012 Enjoy! Please send me comments about the IDs of some of these critters! Thanks. Erik Breden Harlingen, TexasEdit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds
