My family and I spent Easter weekend at Lost Maples SP. It was a wonderful week
with pleasant temperatures and great to see everything so green with a decent
mix of wildflowers in some areas. Golden-cheeked warblers were very easy
pickings and Black-capped Vireos could easily be found on the high plateau of
the East Loop, but none found on the West Loop. A Hutton's vireo nest was
present along the beginning of one of the trails, but it never was very willing
to pose as it stayed up high and the changing of the parents on the nest was
very quick. Some pics from the weekend can be found below with it mostly being
Golden-cheeks, Canyon Wren, Ash-throated, and the difficult Hutton's. In the
gallery, you can also find several shots of the long lost Surfbird from my trip
to Corpus a week ago.
