Next few nights look good for migration through Texas!! I’ll be down at Hornsby ponds from about 7:00-10:00am tomorrow if anyone wants to join me. (Though so many times radar like this doesn’t pan out on the ground). Wherever you are birding this weekend — keep an eye out for Sabine’s Gulls!! Several at Canyon Lake yesterday
Hearing migrants on my walk this morning: Yellow, Nashville & Orange crown warblers, Clay-colored Sparrow, Dickcissels, Broad wing Hawk, Great crested fly… Also a new yard bird in Hyde park yesterday: PABU!! I’m getting antsy to get to High Island !!!
Been uppies and dickcissels going over regularly in small numbers this morning at “The Dacha “. Also been hearing the snap of warbler bills in small groups. The ones I got on were yellow warblers. Pretty sure I heard the “ick” call of an oriole, but could not find him. And Dacha bird #137 is…………….what…
And here’s a small challenge for you B3 grads (or anyone else): ID this bird and tell us why. What is the diagnostic field mark?
This was October 8 2022 over Westcave preserve.
Migration over next few days looks good!! Fingers crossed for the Corpus trip!!
