Granger Lake Shorebirds
Still from Granger yesterday. Here’s a few shorebirds for any graduate of the Shorebird Class to ID. Look at the flying flock carefully.

Final from Granger. It was a 5 Eagle Day!!! And the last 2 were engaged in some aerial combat for over 2 minutes!!
Had a great trip with the 2024 Gulls Class to Galveston etc. Highlight was the California Gull initially found by Sarah “blue legs” Womack!! Palm Warbler found by Doug was also a great bird!! We had 6 gull species and numerous shorebirds.
I had a great time at Granger Lake yesterday, sitting solo by the swim area watching migration go by!! No gulls at the swim area, but good numbers flying by and at 2 poorly accessible roosts.
After gulls and flysnatchers, I’m starting to think of shorebirds again! This pix didn’t make the cut in the TAS Greg Lasley photo contest, but it was one of my favorites I took during birdathon.
Went hunting for shorebirds at Lake Buchanan this morning. Looks like lots of shorebird habitat all around the lake, but I only found 1 Killdeer, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 2 flyover Upland Sandpipers and 7 Avocets. Here’s hoping more stop in next time.
