Howdy Texbirders,
 It has been awhile since I posted to texbirds, so I thought I would jump back 
in. We had a great birdwalk this morning, and this afternoon spent most of the 
day walking the park again, ending the day with 87 species of birds. Ducks are 
starting to return with Northern Pintail and Cinnamon Teal showing up today. 
Lots of Blue-winged and Black-bellies, also. Most days Fulvous are here but did 
not find any of them today. Our birdwalks are Saturday and Sundays with birds 
species being called out from the deck starting at 8 AM and the actual walks 
start at 8:30 AM. Take a look at my ebird report below if interested in what 
was seen today and what you may see when visiting our park. Y'all tale care 
now, and remember----

 Bird for your health,
 Forget your worries,
 You'll be happier.
