Running With Scissor-tails

151! 151! 151 son! That's how many species we saw! I'll post the list of what we found soon.

Ended our VERY long day with the bird that was supposed to be our first! Barn Owl made us WORK for them today, but we nailed 'em! Will compile our list tomorrow. After 18 hrs straight, we sleep...

On our way home hoping to find a couple more birds! Looking at you owls! 🦉

Now accepting cave and bank swallows for our survey. Please apply if interested and you have the qualifications of having a breast band and square tails. #houstonaudubon #birdathon2021

Off to a rough start since we couldn’t find our resident Barn Owl... Currently en route to Angelina National Forest with a quick pit stop to listen for other (and better) owls #houstonaudubon #birdathon2021
