It was a very windy and it really knocked the bird activity down. I even missed to the best birds. A Bald Eagle circling over the State Park and a small flock of south bound Snow Geese. Tanglewood Marina held an incredible 68 Great Egrets in cove and the north bound bridge over FM 751 had a circling Barn Swallow. Here are the results of a very slow birding day. The wind gusted to 34 mph and the temp. reached 53 or so they say. 12 Dallas Audubon members brave the miserable weather. Thank ya'll for coming.
