First Trip A Success!
7. November 2010 by Capt. Tommy.
All is right with the world! We made our first whooper trip of the year yesterday and saw almost 30 birds on our usual route. The weather was spectacular as well. Our first stop in Dunham Bay produced 9 birds with 2 different pair and a sub-adult cohort of 5 birds.
We picked up the usual Egrets, Herons and Ibis along with Roseate Spoonbills and good numbers of shorebirds. Raptors included both Red-tailed and white-tailed hawks, Crested Cara Cara, and a Merlin. Ducks that crossed our field of view were Pintails, Widgeon, Gadwall, Mottled, and Ruddy.
Ok the birds are here, where are YOU! I look forward to seeing you all this winter.
Good birds to you-
Captain Tommy
