Hi Everyone-
Today 5/19, I birded Two Buttes SWA, Lamar Community College, Tempel Grove, and Last Chance. I noticed that Swainson's Thrushes are everywhere. One of them at Tempel Grove was on the olive end of the spectrum and I took it to be of the eastern subspecies. At Two Buttes, a female Black-headed Grosbeak shared a branch with a female Rose-breasted. I saw nothing out of the ordinary at Lamar, although I heard an Archilochus (Ruby-throated/Black-chinned) Hummingbird at the south end. That said, I never tire of Northern Cardinals, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Chimney Swifts, and Mississippi Kites. I missed Carolina Wren. At Tempel Grove, there was a flock of five male Blue Grosbeaks chowing down on seeds with a flock of Lark Sparrows-a surprising flash of color. At Last Chance, I had two Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, a male Orchard Oriole, a Northern Waterthrush, and a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
