FIRST TC BIRD WALK A SUCCESS !

The First TC Bird Walk was  a success with 20 people attending. We saw 25 species during a slow ramble around Blue Valley and Carrington Prairie. The bird list for the morning is below the picture.

 

Number of Species: 25

Our favorite bird of the morning was a Red-Shouldered Hawk. A pair has been nesting in Travis Country each spring for the past few years.

I took the above photo of a Red-shouldered Hawk at 

the Driskill Hotel in Austin last week.
