Only kidding... partially?
On days like this my thoughts are inevitably drifting West...far West. The "tinternet" allows close scrutiny of sightings across the pond and things are picking up. In under 2 weeks I'll be looking at some rather nice birds in great weather (at least most of the time).
I'm going to take a more philosophical view to my trip this year. Many, many memories will no doubt flood back from my visits over the last 19 years. Thankfully, not much has changed on the prime reserves, despite some powerful Hurricanes! The "stop off" feeding areas are still very much in tact. This enables Birders to enjoy great views of various families. The Warblers are the stars for me.
This will be my last pre-trip post on Texas (promise).
I have set myself a few targets, just for a bit of fun.
1. See how many species I can find on Galveston Island
2. See how many species I can photograph.
3. Visit as many new sites as possible.
That should keep things interesting. I,'ve dug out a few images from previous trips to set the tone...
Not long now...
