Rio Brazos Audubon and the Great Texas Birding Classic 2014

Well what a great way to spend a Saturday! The weather was great, the conversation was friendly, and the birds kept us busy! We started off quite early- about 5:00AM- and immediately had a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD calling and calling and calling from the top of a nearby tree. Soon after, two EASTERN SCREECH OWLS came over to investigate us, and a GRAY FOX thought he could sneak by without getting spotted! Ha! We're here to see stuff! There's no sneaking by us! Unfortunately it was too dark/I wasn't awake enough to figure out how to use my camera in low light to get a picture of either.

One picture I did manage... Sarah and Mark

7:55pm

Alright we're in the home stretch! I think we're all happy about our sightings today- we've got a couple of more target birds we're waiting on- and hoping a couple of birds we've seen elsewhere in the park come for a quick visit. I'll have a full wrap-up of the day... But not until tomorrow! In the mean time, we've got a chuck-will's-widow to listen for!
