Georgetown, Texas, D Day + 13—January 14, 2019—I haven’t
posted since we returned from our east Texas birding adventure. On Thursday, January 10, we spent the entire
morning looking for the Bachman’s Sparrow but we were unsuccessful in our
endeavor. So, upon returning to camp we
decided to head back to Georgetown a day early.
On our drive we added a couple of species, notably a White-tailed Kite
as we left Huntsville. We arrived home
just after dark. On the 11th
we worked at unloading the trailer and taking it back to Weir to storage. We didn’t do any birding. Then on Saturday, January 12, we went to
Tejas Camp to look for sparrows we needed.
We were rewarded with adding several species of sparrows and a Ladder-backed
Woodpecker.

Then, around noon we headed out to Garey Park to see what
was going on with the blind. After
refilling the feeders I was able to photograph some birds for the first
time. I have attached those photos.

On Sunday, January
13, we headed out to Granger Lake to see what we could add to our list. We added 9 species bring our total to 114 for
Deb and 115 for me. That’s where our
total stands as of January 14. I have
added a couple of photos taken at Granger.
