Did you ever wonder why it’s called “double-crested”?

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!!
Dacha bird #145 flew over yesterday: eastern meadowlark.
Trying to get a mental handle on timing of warbler migration in Texas. So, naturally, I put together a spreadsheet! From Ebird data. Send me an email if you want a PDF of the graphs, comparisons (eg. the 2 waterthresh) and etc.
On September 26 this bird was somewhere in Oklahoma. On October 1 I’m pretty sure i saw the same bird in Alvarado Texas. Heading south!! (I didn’t get a pix though)
Anybody else see this cool local visitor?
