While we were at High Island last week,

 

we went to the heron/egret/cormorant/spoonbill rookery.  It was loaded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More rain today.  Went out looking for the Bay-breasted Warbler.  Found a lot of birds knocked down by this stormy weather, among them Baird’s Sandpiper, Willow Flycatcher, and Olive-sided Flycatcher.  Year birds!  369!

 

It helped a lot that I birded with Jon today.  (Judy stayed home and rested.)  Never found the Bay-breasted Warbler though.  Jon saw one briefly that I missed today, and saw another just after we parted ways tonight.  I know where to look first thing tomorrow anyway, hoping the birds stay overnight.
