Hi, all! Managed to bad three more year birds today (Piping Plover, Red Knot, and Wood Stork--finally!), and had a great day overall enjoying shorebirds and resaca-hopping (and discovering new roads) with Pat Heirs. Full report (and photos and recordings) are here: _http://miriameaglemon.com/Big%20Year%202012/August/August%205%20-%20South%2 0Padre%20Island.html_ (http://miriameaglemon.com/Big%20Year%202012/August/August%205%20-%20South%20Padre%20Island.html) ...or go to the main page (below) and follow the 2012 Big Year links.
