Great report, Floyd. Thank you to both you and Clarice for working the trash
cleanup. You two are incredible and so much fun. Thanks for hosting our young
birders in your yard also. See you soon!

Two young ladies from Glenda's Dupree Park cleanup crew this morning, Amber
and Cienna, stopped at our house to check out the yard birds.
Cienna spotted the Inca Dove on a wire above the back gate. I understand
that it was a lifer.
It looked so small with several large Doves nearby. Cienna said 'I wish it
would turn around so we could see its front'. It promptly turned around,
striking a pretty pose.
From what I can think of offhand:, we saw:
Inca Dove, only one, the highlight
Mourning Dove, one each
Eurasian Collared Dove - many
White-winged Dove - many
Red-winged Blackbird - 3 each, male, female, first year male
Mockingbird
Blue Jays - 5 or 6 came when Clarice 'whistled' for them
Grackle
House Finch - noticeably, 2 bright red males
House Sparrows
Pine Siskin, only one as far I know
American Robins

at Dupree Park:
White-faced Ibis
American Avocets
Black-necked Stilts
Mississippi Kite
