Mystery Bird ?
Who am I? (Rollover Pass, Bolivar penn).

Who am I? (Rollover Pass, Bolivar penn).

Today’s Birds of the Bolivar Peninsula reminder is on Ibis.
Here’s a comparison of Semipalmated with a Least. So I think we can see actual black legs here on this sandpiper. It’s a short-winged bird; wings are just atop tail. Bill is short and pretty straight. Overall coloration is fairly pale, not brown. Baird’s and Least are brown-hued birds. Both also have a chest coloration…
Lance and I dipped on our target in corpus yesterday: Black noddy, but got better looks at lawn ornaments.
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.
An apparent adult Kelp Gull found at Brownsville landfill this morning. Landfill access as below.
Several places on the Gulls Field trip we had very large numbers of birds. Here’s only 1/2 of a huge flight of cormorants that flew by us on the Texas city Dike. Anybody volunteer to count them?
