Willacy County, 5/11/08

I made another run out to Willacy County to see if I could add any migrants to my Willacy County list. Not to many passerines, but enough new birds to bring my county list up to 200 exactly. I doubt too many people have seen Purple Gallinule in Willacy County.

This singing Botteri's Sparrow was new for the county list. I was pretty sure it was Botteri's before it sang as it was much browner than a Cassin's Sparrow.

Here's some photogenic shorebirds at Port Mansfield. First a Wilson's Plover and then a Ruddy Turnstone.

Listers, Come out of the closet!

I have a problem. I am a lister. There. I said it. I'm not ashamed of it. There's lots of birders out there who look down their noses at listers. But I bet they have lists too. They list in the privacy of their homes. Maybe behind the locked door of the bathroom. Come on listers. Come out of the closet (or the bathroom)! Oh I know what they say about listing. You go blind or hair grows on the palms of your hands. But it's not true. In fact listing is good for you. So make your lists and don't feel guilty about it.
