Birdcast


With North wind coming on I decided to go watch for migrants at Granger Lake. I was not disappointed!!
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
I set my self the task of trying to catch migrants in front of the moon
I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
It was a pleasure to see multiple wobblers and some sidekicks today at Mills Pond with Virginia. Nice warm up for High Island!!
Another question for 2022 gulls class: with these long narrow wings with black wingtips I thought I had what species? But what species is it actually?
