Migration
So just had a very cool migration experience!!! I’m guessing 200 scissor tail flycatchers at leander HEB swirling around ti roost (pretending ti be martins).

This is pretty cool!! From Nocturnal Flight Calls FB Group. Video on Youtube
Next few nights look good for migration through Texas!! I’ll be down at Hornsby ponds from about 7:00-10:00am tomorrow if anyone wants to join me. (Though so many times radar like this doesn’t pan out on the ground). Wherever you are birding this weekend — keep an eye out for Sabine’s Gulls!! Several at Canyon Lake yesterday
Anyone who missed Cin Ty Lee’s talk on Empids you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9_bqVZaYqw I’m about to watch
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
I believe these are birds taking off at dusk to migrate
On a walk in the neighborhood I had some nice birds today, ash throated, vermillion, scissors flys, grasshopper, lark, chippy, savanna and brewers sparrows, and black capped vireo. No pix.
