Lamar CC Woods:
Magnolia warbler (1st fall f)
Blue-headed vireo (2, one bright, one dull)
W. scrub-jay (1)
White-throated sparrow (2)
Empid (Gray is best fit for observed field marks)
Carolina wren (heard briefly)
Lazuli bunting
Along Memorial Drive either side of Woodland Lane:
Scissor-tailed
The Thick-billed Kingbhrd put on a show for me this afternoon at 4:40 pm at the
eBird “TBKI Stakeout” location near Mack CO. It announced its presence with
vocalizations and posed for photos atop a shrub with purple leaves.
