Greetings All:
I spent an hour and a quarter birding Clapp Park in Lubbock this morning,
noting thirty species of birds.
The most exciting find was a WORM-EATING WARBLER in the big willow thicket
at the west end of the dike.
Other highlights, some included by virtue of being hard to come by due to
the double whammy of drought and a somewhat unspectacular migration,
included 1 Swainson's Thrush, 19 Cedar Waxwings, 1 Northern Waterthrush, 1
Yellow Warbler, 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, 3 MacGillivray's Warblers, 2
Wilson's Warblers, 1 Green-tailed Towhee, 4 Chipping Sparrows, 27
Clay-colored Sparrows, 3 Lincoln's Sparrows, 2 White-crowned Sparrows, 1
female and 2 male Indigo Buntings, and 1 American Goldfinch.
