Spring Sightings

Some highlights (camera-less and photo-less) over the last few months have included....

Presa de la Constitucion - Still over 60 American White Pelicans in early May, with a similar number of Neotropic Cormorants.  A few Laughing Gulls with 6 Ring-billed Gulls, but best of all an adult summer Caspian Tern.  In the scrub, 2 Northern Bobwhites and a surprising MacGillivray's Warbler.

Presa Centenario - In early May, there were over 1000 Wilson's Phalaropes and excellent numbers of Black-winged Stilt and American Avocet.  Still some wildfowl hanging around - Shovelers, Pintails, lots of resident Mexican Ducks and Ruddy Ducks, and some Gadwall and American Wigeon.  Mid-May, there were 4 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks and 1 Black Tern with huge Barn Swallow migration.

Tequisquiapan - Quiet now with just resident birds remaining.  Many are feeding young.  In early May, however, I did see a Bell's Vireo and Warbling Vireo together, obvious migrants.
