Migration
So just had a very cool migration experience!!! I’m guessing 200 scissor tail flycatchers at leander HEB swirling around ti roost (pretending ti be martins).

Regretfully we were a little short on SHORE for he shorebirds class field trip to corpus over the weekend. But I think we enjoyed it none the less and ended up with around 20 shorebird species!! Highlights for me were seeing a Cassin’s Kingbird at Blucher park, more Red Knots than I’ve ever seen ~20,…
Birdcast. I should say that just because conditions are good for migration, doesn’t mean we see them on the ground. But it’s a good time to look.
Another great effort by Lee & Birch!!! Concise, pointed, and beautifully illustrated!!!

I enjoyed Cin Ty Lee’s presentation on Empids at TOS!! He’s got some good material on his website: http://www.cintylee.org/#/guiding-services/ I also notice that Butter Butt’s are scarfing down crushed pecans in the street in several locations.
Still from Granger yesterday. Here’s a few shorebirds for any graduate of the Shorebird Class to ID. Look at the flying flock carefully.
