One white-tipped dove flushed near the Rail Trail intersection with Heron Flats Trail this morning. This bird is rather rare for this region of Texas. A long-billed thrasher was scratching in dead leaves on the North end of the Heron Flats Trail. Also of note were many greater yellowlegs, avocets, and a fairly large flock of white-faced ibis, which of late I havn't been observing at the refuge. Wilson's snipe flushed from the Rail Trail this morning and a good flock of wild turkeys were on the main road. The painted redstart was calling near the visitor center.
