Firsts! First Bird Banding and...
This is just a quick note to document the firsts. I've now see the Black-capped Vireo, the Bewick's Wren (for iNat) and the Bue-grey Gnatcatcher.
We talked our way into the event. It was a chance to meet a local active birder (Gil E.) and to connect with local Audubon and scientists at Fort Hood.
There was a chance, if a small window, to see a Burrowing Owl. The owl is still out there - seen by some, but not by us.
There will be another banding in March. I plan to be there.
