For you recent Gulls Class graduates!!
14 species of shorebird at Hornsby this morning. I’m surprised I haven’t seen Western or WHite-rumped Sandpipers yet. The fun part today was 20 Hudsonian Godwits flying over the ponds and then 4 landed and stuck around for 15 minutes.
Wonders never sleep!!………….Or was that rust? Houston Audubon Sanctuaries
I guess I’m getting antsy for High Island!! Thought I’d start posting a few ID reminders and mnemonics that I have to give myself each year. First one is on the 2 big Rails.
Here’s a reminder for you photographers: I was at Cedar point on Lake Buchanan yesterday. I caught two distant pix of a flock of shorebirds heading south. (Love witnessing migration !!!!) Couldn’t tell much with bins, but since I had a pix I blew it up and can easily see needle like bills, distinctive profile…
Allan and I had distant looks at lawn ornaments in Port Aransas yesterday.
