South Llano River State Park

 

I had 5 target birds.  I found 3 of them:

 

Bell’s Vireo

Common Poorwill

…and Black-capped Vireo

 

Missed the Scott’s Oriole and Golden-cheeked Warbler.

 

The Poorwill is cool because it’s a night-bird.  All you have to do is wait until it gets dark and listen.  It has a distinctive repetitive call and knows how to use it!  The Bell’s Vireo is easy because it came to me and chattered to get my attention.  The Black-capped Vireo was harder because I had to hunt it down.

 

Current count, 384.  Now I’m at Fort Davis.
