Greetings All:
After completing the Post Breeding Bird Survey I swung home by way of
Crosby County (don't worry Rich - it did me no good at all) snagging 2
Eastern Phoebes, 1 Common Raven, and 2 Pyrrhuloxias near Kalgary as well as
4 Blue-winged Teals and 2 Redheads south of Crosbyton.
Much later in the day, Drew Harvey and I visited Lynn County (evening/night
driving for herps) and stumbled across a few more interesting birds (in
addition to adding a Striped Skunk to my year list for the county -
WooHoo!) including 2 Scaled Quails and 5 Black-necked Stilts at Sam Road
Playa as well as 2 Blue-winged Teals, 4 Redheads, 4 Eared Grebes, and 1
Black Tern at Redhead Playa.
Not a bad day - June feels like it is going to be slow, though.
