Did you ever wonder why it’s called “double-crested”?

Bummer !!!
And a few other birds from this morn.
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
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.
Took me about 45 seconds this morning to get this long staying Limpkin at Brazos Bend SP. New for my Texas list. . With escargot!!!
I guess I’m getting antsy for High Island!! Thought I’d start posting a few ID reminders and mnemonics that I have to give myself each year. First one is on the 2 big Rails.
