Greetings All:
Phillip Kite and I spent several hours exploring the Canyon Lakes of
Lubbock today.
We spent close to four hours at the Purina Mountain Bike Trail. Our first
cluster of birds contained 3 White-breasted Nuthatches and 1 Brown Creeper
- in the wooded area favored by paintballers and mountain bikers. Other
highlights from our visit: 1 Winter Wren, 3 American Pipits, 4 Field
Sparrows, 1 White-throated Sparrow, and 13 Pine Siskins.
We then spent an hour at the Lubbock Cemetery where highlights were few: 1
Orange-crowned Warbler and 16 Chipping Sparrows.
Our last stop was a quick, ten minute, visit to the Erskine Street Marsh
where the only highlight was 2 Soras.
I also got pictures of a Yellow-faced Pocket Gopher at Mae Simmons Park and
a Coyote at the Erskine Street Marsh.
