I headed down to High Island around 3:15 this afternoon and on my way down
there were Scissor-tailed Flycatchers along FM1985 as well as 3 Red-tailed
Hawks with the best one being right across FM 1985 from the closed entrance
into the Anahuac NWR East Unit. It was a very light colored Krieder's
Hawk. Heading home at almost dark a Great Horned Owl flew across in front of my
car just before the "Y" in the road where FM 1985 turns into FM 562 and
heads North.
I managed to get 2 new life birds for me this afternoon so the short trip
was worth it. For three years I have been chasing Cerulean and Swainson
Warblers an and today I got both. Cerulean pictures came out OK but the
Swainson's was just OK due to being just before dark.
Joanne if you are reading this thanks for leaving so the Swainson's would
come in!
