It was a pleasure to see multiple wobblers and some sidekicks today at Mills Pond with Virginia. Nice warm up for High Island!!

Eric and I had an interesting time during April watching the radar for birds and especially cold fronts that might mean a fallout. I may be wrong, but I think this radar depiction shows migrating birds (light blue) and then an approaching cold front (April 20, 2025). The birds seem to shy away from the…
Birdcast. I should say that just because conditions are good for migration, doesn’t mean we see them on the ground. But it’s a good time to look.
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
Night of September 21 looks like a doosie!!! I think I’ll go birding the morning of the 22nd.
Here’s a little gulls quiz for the IDDGG class of 2023 and a video of gull-pipers (still at Granger yesterday).
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.
