Tyler SP—D Day + 6—January 7, 2019—Today we were at Tyler SP and did some early morning birding.  The morning was productive in producing two species we had targeted, White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches.  The lake had little to offer in birds but we did add Pie-billed Grebe to our list.  Other birds included Carolina Wren, many Chipping Sparrows and several heard but not seen woodpeckers.  Other than these additions there was little less. We did check out their bird blind (really a wall with holes for photographers but no water or feeders) and it was quite dead.  I did have the opportunity to visit with a my cousins Ronnie and Paula Page who live in the Tyler area.  I had not seen either in probably 20 years so we had a lot to catch up on.  Tomorrow we move on to the Angelina NF in quest of Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Bachman’s Sparrow.
