I'm forwarding this for Tom Langschied, as he is having some posting
problems.
Yesterday, I birded the western agricultural portion of the Laureles Div.
of King Ranch (east of Kingsville) but in Kleberg Co. Biggest surprises
were two American Golden-Plovers (one still in breeding plumage) and 105
Mountain Plovers. Also of particular interest were 3 Burrowing Owls and 4
Spragues Pipits. Below is the list of the 39 species found.
Earlier in the week on Monday I birded the Santa Gertrudis Div. of King
Ranch (also Kleberg Co.) and found 62 species. Highlights of that outing
were 2 Merlin, 3 Cave Swallows, and 9 Spragues Pipits. The full list of
birds for Monday are found below the Wednesday list.
Good birding,
