Butterfly Migration


You gotta love a woman who responds with a huge enthusiastic grin, gets her shoes on, and follows you outside when you say “We have dung beetles!!!!”!! We were delighted to see 3 of these little dudes rolling their business at our place near Fort Davis!!!
If there’s Crane Flies it must be spring!
Distribution !!!! 3 of the 7 Habits !!! Here’s birds (I think) on radar from this morning. They appear to be landing for the morning. Also attached is Birdcast prognostication for tonight. And finally, here’s a new way to explore distribution and migration. IT is fascinating!!! Distribution Map at Audubon
Just heard Sandhills going over Hyde park. (Photos from New Mexico, not Hyde Park).
With North wind coming on I decided to go watch for migrants at Granger Lake. I was not disappointed!!
Migration !!! Had a few hundred of these guys near La Grange yesterday. Then I stopped by Hornsby about noon and it was almost devoid of shorebird habitat. Water is up and meets the grass, so no “shore”. I did manage to find 3 of the the “big 4”: Least, Killdeer & Spotted.
