Hi All:
Took advantage of the nice weather and a canceled appointment and journeyed
over to Cross Creeks Wildlife Refuge in Steward County. Was ever so glad to
find the gates open since my last trip there 2 weekends ago. Today we were
treated to the following birds:
Blue-winged Teals (22 or so)
Pied Billed Grebes (2)
Cardinals
Bluebirds
Great Blue Herons (12-15)
Coots
Crows
Red-winged Blackbirds
Canada Geese
Meadowlarks
Killdeer
Grackles
Osprey (2)
Bald Eagles (2)
Morning Doves
Black Swan (probable "escapee" mingling with the Canada geese)
American Wigeon (4)
Clift Swallows
Red-tailed Hawk
Snipes (4) down from the 150 of 2 weeks ago
Great Egret (1) in beautiful plumage
Lesser Yellowlegs (3)
Greater Yellowlegs (1)
Unidentified "LBJ's"
No signs of any Ring-billed or Bonaparte Gulls today as opposed to the
several dozen of each wandering through 2 weeks ago. A most enjoyable
afternoon!
