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.
