Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
Nice and cool on the Oregon Coast!! Here’s a few birds and sea creatures. I’ll let you gull aficionados give me an ID on these west coast gulls. Hint: 3 species.
Also took me about 30 seconds to add this Brown Booby in Aggieland a couple of weeks ago to my Texas list. Only bird on the lake. Same trip as the Limpkin, I was on a roll!!! 60 seconds of birding and added 2.
We happened to be in Corpus over the weekend so stopped in to see this Brown Noddy that had been hanging around. Sadly he was taken in for rehab just after we saw, but later died.
Was able to see this lifer reported at Hooks woods on recent trip to High Island. Not many lifer left for me on our annual High Island trip.
On Saturday Lance, Jane Tillman and I chased the much visited Gray Kingbird in Houston. Here’s a few pix. I was most impressed with the BILL!! When we arrived there were several kingbirds present and I thought: “is that it?…..is that it?” but once you see that great honkin bill….case closed!!! We also picked up…
