This morning my plan was to run up to Sal del Rey and work on the Hidalgo
county year list. Just south of Delta :ale on FM 88 was a large mixed flock of
Snow, Ross' and White-fronted Gees, about 1000 birds. Delta Lake is still low
and now the west side is dropping but I didn't spend any time there. My walk
into Sal del Rey from Brushline road netted very little. It's just so dry.
The salt lake had a little water sitting on top of the salt slush but no birds.
So I decide to bird Brushline Road up to Mary Beth's pond. I was surprised to
find quite a few sparrows of six different species, most of them were along the
road in the dry grassy fields north of GI Road.
