Gulf Coast targets
CHANNELVIEW, TEXAS — Yes, I just finished blogging about California birds from a motel east of Houston. Fjord and I are birding the Upper Texas Coast tomorrow, and I have a list of target birds:
- Greater Scaup
- Virginia Rail
- King Rail
- Groove-billed Ani
- Sprague’s Pipit
Wish us luck!

Good luck, indeed!
You’ll probably need it: 2 rails and Sprague’s!
Holy cow.
If you have difficulties with Greater Scaup, come on over to the German Baltic sea. I had a flock of 14,000 recently, these flocks will increase to more than 50,000 by March.
Only suggesting it…
