Hello Texbirders,
 

Below is a list of birds seen on Thursday, 01/17.  The Red-naped
Sapsucker has been seen again near the bathrooms past the pavilion. We
were also graced by two White-tailed Hawks this afternoon flying over
the canal.  Clay-colored Thrush and Altamira Orioles as well as a
photogenic Cooper's Hawk can be found throughout the day at the Nature
Center.  A Great-horned Owl was also spotted today across our Resaca
near the youth camp in one of the palms.
