Always something new dropping into Hornsby this time of year!!! 3 new species for 2023 for me at Hornsby today. Love migration!!! And Killdeer already have a chick!! What do ya’ll think about the 4 Ibis?
Here’s one I don’t recall seeing so boldly out in the open before, much less photographed in gorgeous sunlight!!
Today I saw my 39th of the 40 shorebird species likely to be seen in Texas for my 2023 scoreboard. Found a WIlson’s snipe at the Pecos River. (Didn’t get a pix today, this was from elsewhere). Saw 32 species in Central Texas (mostly Hornsby and Cedar Point), 1 more in west texas, only needed…
Forgot to ID all the birds in a previous quiz. Here there are. The Baird’s was kind of unfair The rest are Least, unless I missed something.
Here’s the first bird I laid eyes on at Hornsby this morning. And another I finally got some decent pix of.
13 species of shorebirds at Hornsby yesterday including some very colorful birds. Also nice of them to build so much additional Spotted Sandpiper habitat!!
