The final push has begun

 

Drove to Riviera.  Missed on the Ferruginous Hawk and Fork-tailed Flycatcher.  The flycatcher left a couple weeks ago, but checked just to make sure.  From a distance I saw a big dark hawk with a red tail fly away.  That probably wasn’t the Ferruginous.  Drove to Goose Island.  Scored on the Whooping Crane at Big Tree.  495.  Spent two hours looking for the American Bittern at the Birding Center in Port Aransas.  I enlisted everyone on the boardwalk to help me find it.  Several people saw it yesterday, but none today.  Watched until it was too dark to see.  I don’t think it was there.
