Spent most of the weekend on our place in Comal Co. tending to stuff there
and was able to get in a little birding. The best bird was a male Lazuli
bunting that came to drink at the pond Saturday morning. Also had a
Northern waterthrush and a solitary sandpiper at the pond.
This afternoon back at home in Waller Co. I found at least 5 grasshopper
sparrows scattered about and singing away. Interestingly, 3 were in a
field of winter ryegrass that is only about 4 to 6 inches high. The
dickcissel invasion of the past 10 days or so continues. They are just
everywhere in large numbers. Other than that the dirth of migrants
continues. I finally had my first painted bunting of the year this
afternoon along with a female common yellowthroat. That brings my Spring
warbler total for the place up to 2 N. waterthrushes and 1 c. yellowthroat.
