Bummer !!!
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.
Migration is happening!! Tons of yellow warblers and gnatcatchers at Hornsby and a few others sprinkled in like Clay-colored Sparrow and a Flycatcher someone can ID. Also 14 species of shorebirds including Avocets and Semipalm Plovers.
I came up with 113 species on Corpus FT (for my personal list).
Here’s the first bird I laid eyes on at Hornsby this morning. And another I finally got some decent pix of.
I won’t say it will lead to birds on the ground for us ( having learned my lesson?). But I’m hopeful for Thursday and Friday
