I managed to have a eleven warbler, two vireo day in spite of warm temps and clear skies, which is not as good as a front with overcast and rainy. Long hours of not seeing anything. Started at Anahuac: Fulvous Wh Duck, KIng Rail (or perhaps some would say cling rail) least bittern, green heron, gull billed tern, rough winged swallows. Hooks was the best site in the morning: hooded, kentucky, swainson's warbler, orange crowned, summer tanager Boys' Scout: Lousiana Waterthrush Smith's Oaks had the rest: Prothonotary, yellow rumped, B&W, Tennessee, ovenbird, n. parula, blue headed vireo and white eyed. RC kinglets were common. Strangely, there is still a red breasted nuthatch making the rounds of the big oaks. I found snowy plovers in two locations: a pair off the oil field road just south of high island, near where a lot of gulls are roosting. One snowy at Rollover Pass. Other plovers are mostly piping, a few Wilson's. Plenty of the usual shorebirds at Rollover: avocets, dunlins, willets, marbled godwits, sandlings, turnstones, just missed out on oystercatcher. You can also see Wilson's plovers on Canal Street. Yacht Basin Road had a Clapper Rail half hidden in reeds. 1985 had some whimbrels and possible Bairds'/semipalmated with them.
