Ready for High Island
Indeed!!!
Another great trip to High Island with Eric and others!!! Witnessing a fallout happen was amazing!!!
Since I’m going to attempt to teach a few gulls next class here’s a reminder: it’s about time to be on the lookout (and listen-out) for franklin’s gulls. They migrate from prairie nesting sites To west coast of South America. Right over cen Tex. Also listen for another iconic sound of fall migration—Sandhill cranes!!
I believe these are birds taking off at dusk to migrate
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).
At the end of this group of photos is a super cool pix by Suzie Haas McCann taken on our visit to Anahuac NWR last week (WARNING: the last pix contains a dead bird, somewhat graphic).
Anybody birding tomorrow? 4/18/22
