This week has been a good birding week right here at the Rescue Center. I saw my first White-crowned sparrows of this year and my first Chipping sparrows of this year.
Other sightings this week; Eurasian Collored Dove, Inca Doves, White-winged Doves, House Sparrows, Northern Harrier, Cooper's Hawk, Carolina Wren, Bewick's Wren, Robins, Mockingbirds, Ring-billed Gulls, Double-crested Cormorants, White Pelicans, Belted Kingfisher (heard - not seen) and Sandhill Cranes.
My wife brought me lunch and as I walked her to her car we heard Sandhill Cranes and finally spotted a flock of about two dozen South of us. After lunch I made a trip to the mail box and heard another flock. Never saw them this time. I was thinking it is a little late for them so I looked them up in the North Texas Bird and Wildlife Club's book and sightings this time of year due occur, but are not common.
Great birding week!
