This weekend I've decided to mosey down I-10 West and hit some birding hotspots along the way. First along the stop is the West 11th Street Park, which is less than 2 miles from where I live, but I've still never made it out there. Then I'll head down to the Houston Audubon Headquarters, the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, where I've been multiple times before and have never been disappointed. Then the last stop is Bear Creek Park, which is a favorite of all the West Houston birders (and very well documented on eBird).
I'm hoping to reach my county 100 for Harris County (the county I live in, no less) during this trip. All I need are 2 more species! Here is a list of birds spotted at any one of these three locations in the last two weeks, any one of which would get me closer to my goal (red are lifers, blue are new to Texas):

Ok, I think I may extend my trip tomorrow to the Katy Prairie to go see the Lapland Longspur and Great Kiskadee migrants :)
