Platte Lane
Walked Platte Lane area of Hornsby this morning. Pretty slow, but we were jawing.
Did get Least and Yellow-bellied flycatchers, which was a pleasure to ID confidently!! Didn’t try for pix.
Anybody else out birding?

11, possibly 12 species at Hornsby yesterday. Here’s a few pix.
Here’s another odd coloration on a Least Sandpiper from Hornsby yesterday. I had a similar one last year. The least in the back is more normal colored. The front one looked almost red in person.
ID bird 2
Migration is happening!! Tons of yellow warblers and gnatcatchers at Hornsby and a few others sprinkled in like Clay-colored Sparrow and a Flycatcher someone can ID. Also 14 species of shorebirds including Avocets and Semipalm Plovers.
One of our recent birds at “The Land” in the Davis mountains.
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
