Glaucous Gull Corpus Christi
Really enjoyed this beautiful and cooperative gull !! I’ve decided Glaucous and Iceland are my favorites, until I see an Ivory or Ross’s at least!!
Glaucous Gull Corpus Christi
Allan and I had a good commune with the Glaucous Gull in Corpus yesterday. (Missed the Iceland Gull there for the 4th time).
Glaucous Gull North Beach Galveston
Here’s the other nice find of the IDDGG Class FT. Seen on Saturday morning by all participants I believe. Again if you were present lets let others ID it.
Iceland Gull Texas City Dike
Here’s a gull we found towards the end of our time at Texas City Dike on Gulls FT. Who can ID it? (Please stay mum if you were present for the sighting, at least till it is IDed).
Pine Grosbeak Panhandle
After the gull I drove 2 hours north from Amarillo (who knew there were still 2 hours of Texas north of Amarillo?) for the reported Pine Grosbeak — new for my Texas list. Spent about 20 minutes photographing this lovely bird.
Yellow-footed Gull YES
I couldn’t sit still with so many rare birds present in Texas — especially when one was a first state record Gull !!!! So I opted for Amarillo (rather than RGV at the moment). I put in 8 hours of stakeout time for the Yellow-footed Gull in Amarillo yesterday and today and it paid off…
Cattly Tyrant Corpus Christi
Who am I?
Nutting’s Flycatcher Big Bend
Spent about 4 hours on morning of November 9 staking out Santa Elena canyon overlook with a buddy and some pleasant fellow birders trying to see nutting’s flycatcher. Had to settle for heard only but we heard it about 10 times and have no doubts.
Lawn Ornaments
Allan and I had distant looks at lawn ornaments in Port Aransas yesterday.
Red-necked Phalarope Hornsby
Thanks to Terry for letting me know about this Red-necked Phalarope at Hornsby. I re-found it at noon today.
