Howdy All!
Sorry for the lateness of this post, but I was fortunate enough to get to
do a little birding at the beautiful Lake Whitney State Park back on
Wednesday morning. I didn't have a lot of time, but I did get to see the
potential of the place.
Franklin's Gulls were circling over the lake. I also picked up my FOS
Orchard Oriole. The were still a few White-crowned Sparrows singing.
Summer Tanagers were singing from the tops of trees as were Lark Sparrows.
I would have loved to be able to spend more time there.

Go birding in a Texas State Park!
