It was partly cloudy, very warm, and windy on the bird survey today. 57 species were found. Nothing out of the ordinary except for a female Redhead which, like the Ring-neck Ducks we have now, is probably a wounded bird from duck season. Least Bitterns have been really active at the observation platform on Pintail Lake. Here is my list for today: Black-bellied Whistling Ducks - 5 Wood Duck - 12 Mallard - 1 male Redhead - 1 female Ring-necked Duck - 10 Pied-billed Grebe – 6 Neotropic Cormorant - 15 Anhinga - 89 Least Bittern - 4 Great-blue Heron - 7 Great Egret - 10 Snowy Egret - 14 Little-blue Heron - 30 Cattle Egret - 950 Green Heron - 8 Black-crowned Night Heron - 1 Yellow-crowned Night Heron - 4 White Ibis - 57 Black Vulture - 4 Turkey Vulture – 6 Mississippi Kite - 2 Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 Purple Gallinule - 87 Common Gallinule - 88 American Coot – 4 Mourning Dove - 9 Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 5 Eastern Wood-Pewee - 1 Eastern Phoebe - 3 Great-crested Flycatcher - 3 Eastern Kingbird - 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher - 2 White-eyed Vireo - 3 Bell's Vireo - 1 American Crow - 2 Fish Crow - 3 Purple Martin - 1 Tree Swallow - 3 Cliff Swallow - 7 Barn Swallow - 13 Tufted Titmouse - 2 Carolina Wren - 4 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 1 Prairie Warbler - 1 Prothonotary Warbler - 4 Common Yellowthroat - 4 Eastern Towhee -1 Northern Cardinal – 10 Blue Grosbeak - 1 Indigo Bunting - 8 Painted Bunting - 6 Dickcissel - 3 Red-winged Blackbird – 12 Common Grackle - 3 Brown-headed Cowbird - 8 Orchard Oriole - 1 House Sparrow - 3 Odonates: L ilypad Forktail Royal River Cruiser Halloween Pennant Four-spotted Pennant Eastern Pondhawk Blue Dasher Slaty Skimmer Common Whitetail "red" Saddlebags Black Saddlebags Herps: American Alligator Southern Painted Turtle Red-eared Slider Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad Blanchard's Cricket Frog Green Frog Good birding!
