Greetings All:
I spent the bulk of yesterday attempting to add Throckmorton County to my TCC
list. The attempt was successful (the topic of a separate post) but I wanted
to get the highlights off before I forgot them.
Highlights from Garza County: 3 Western Kingbirds (my FOS) just west of the
Garza/Kent County line; 13 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers along Highway 380 from
Post to the Garza/Kent County line.
Highlights from Kent County: 4 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in Jayton; 2 Common
Ravens west of Clairemont.
Highlights from Stonewall County: none.
Highlights from Haskell County: 1 Eastern Wood Pewee north Vontress. The bird
seemed a tad early, favoring the Eastern Wood Pewee ID, and I was able to
elicit call notes.
Highlights from Throckmorton County: 1 Least Flycatcher, 1 Great Crested
Flycatcher, 2 counter-singing Bell's Vireos, 1 Blue-headed Vireo, and 1
White-throated Sparrow at Lake Throckmorton; 1 Eastern Wood Pewee at the
intersection of CR 190 and CR 195; 2 Chipping Sparrows at the intersection of
CR 195 and Chamberlain Drive.
For those interested in other critters: there were some Zarucco Dusywings (I
think - spring duskywings are challenging) in the riparian area below Lake
Throckmorton ... and Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnakes are definitely on the
prowl ...
... as are
