I’m realizing I neglected to post anything on me, Eric and company’s trip to High Island and East Texas last April. In 2021 we had a fallout early in the week and then good birding all week culminating with Virginia, Eric and I watching orioles, grossbeaks, warblers, etc. streaming through the trees at Smith Oaks….
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
Here’s a little gulls quiz for the IDDGG class of 2023 and a video of gull-pipers (still at Granger yesterday).
Spotted towhee, numerous Lincoln, white crown, white throated and chippys at the dacha still today. White eye and yellow throat vireos showed up about a week ago. Summer Tanager first seen on Friday. No sign of great crest fly yet.
Interesting article from Birdcast.
