Here’s a little jewel!!! Lance and I got them just in time for Empids class. By Cin-Ty Lee and Andrew Birch I’ve not had time to review it thoroughly, but the simplicity of presentation and Andrew Birch’s beautiful paintings already impress me!!
Cin ty Lee (co-author of Field Guide to North American Flycatchers: Empidonax and Pewees) will be doing a webinar on Texas Empids on May 9th, 8:00 pm. Attached is his post on Texbirds facebook page. Register here if interested: https://riceuniversity.zoom.us/…/sB8KZi2XR3eXKeKXcEyGdQ…

Walked Platte Lane area of Hornsby this morning. Pretty slow, but we were jawing. Did get Least and Yellow-bellied flycatchers, which was a pleasure to ID confidently!! Didn’t try for pix. Anybody else out birding?
Here’s a little gulls quiz for the IDDGG class of 2023 and a video of gull-pipers (still at Granger yesterday).
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
