Our species list continues to grow. Today the first Red-tailed Hawk was
spotted at Smith Point. It was another windy day with birds flying back
and forth, up and down, all over the place. It made counting a challenge,
to say the least. Lots of mid-week visitors helped us out ---thanks! Hope
to see more of you Texbirders as the season progresses.
