Another perfect day here weather wise. Mid-seventies and abundant sunshine.
We made it to Frenchtown Road at the tip of the Bolivar Peninsular for dawn. It's first left off the Ferry!
I was soon enjoying Sora, Clapper and Virginia Rails. Can't beat this site for Rails. The BIG bonus was the sight of 2 Least Bitterns.
We moved on swiftly to the bridge over the Intracoastal Canal. Just before it is a track to the left. A Great Horned Owl site shared with me by Tim Isherwood. It is still occupied!
We spent the next few hours enjoying the superb Anahuac NWR. It was in fine fettle giving excellent views over much of the reserve.
Onward North to Winnie. A couple of reintroduced Whooping Cranes have been present for a while. Would have been rude to miss them as they were so (relatively) close.
After an hour in Hooks Woods at High Island (Hooded Warbler the highlight) we moved down to Rettilon Road and the superb Bolivar Flats. I spent a wonderful two hours here enjoying a wide variety of species.
A quality days Birding.
Time for a Woodland day tomorrow...
Trip Total 221
