Choke Canyon Time!

I'm so excited that I get to go to Choke Canyon State Park this weekend. The weather couldn't possibly be any better (I apologize to you readers up north). It's going to be highs around 85 and lows around 65. I don't think you could ask for better camping weather.

I'll give a full detailed report when I get back, but for now, here are the following "Life Birds" that I'm looking for, based on (the very very few) reports from eBird:

• Sandhill Crane
• Olive Sparrow
• Audubon's Oriole
• Cave Swallow
  

There are also a decent frequency of West and South Texas birds that, while I have already seen them, I would love to see them again, like the Green Jay, Great Kiskadee, Long-billed Thrasher, Say's Phoebe, Common Ground-Dove, Pyrrhuloxia, and Black-throated Sparrow, if anything for the photo scavenger hunt! I'm way behind the retired birders ;)

I'm also hoping to stop by Live Oak county on the way back to see those Masked Ducks that have been nesting there, which would add one to my life list as well as my Texas Review species list.
