Nothing like a change of scenery

 

…to boost a bird count.  A few hours of birding different habitat over the course of two days resulted in 24 new year-birds.  Our new year-count is now 155.

 

A bonaparte’s gull in the middle of a bunch of black skimmers in the morning mist, marbled godwit, semipalmated plover, whimbrel, long billed curlew, black bellied plover, and common yellowthroat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re back at Sandpipers in Edinburg in time for football on the big screen.  This is great.  Four playoff games, and the Broncos and Chargers are the last to play.  That means I can enjoy football all weekend before there is any danger of football being a stupid game this week.

 

Yours truly,

 

Number 57
