Texas 19 - Pineywoods

Today worked out well, to say the least!

Two main targets...both seen very well. Firstly we spent the morning at W.G.Jones State Forest north of Houston were I eventually had fantastic views of Red-cockaded Woodpecker. A story to tell on return. I also added Red-headed Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker and Pileated Woodpecker (heard only). I also saw my first Cooper's Hawk.

The afternoon was spent at Liberty Municipal Park. I connected with Swallow-tailed Kite and also saw Mississippi Kite as a bonus!

A couple of pics to brighten things up a bit




We arrived back in Galveston around 7. Louise wanted some titivation time so I popped down the road and got lucky with an American Bittern in flight.
