Hornsby Shorebirds
6 species of shorebird at Hornsby this morning, including an example of “frosty vs brown” shorebirds.
I don’t recall so many, and so long staying, Avocets at Hornsby before. At last a dozen there today.

Went to Corpus yesterday. Here’s some winter shorebirds.
Here’s the first bird I laid eyes on at Hornsby this morning. And another I finally got some decent pix of.
Starting to be shorebird time of year at Hornsby, but the PUMAs are prolific !!! Some of these and some of Y’ll may make Shorebird Class
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.
I showed my friend Kelly the phalarope feeding technique using surface tension and he showed me the old drafting ruling pens using the same principle. So naturally we had to try it ourselves!!
