Progreso Lakes, 1/12/18

It was a cool and breezy but fantastic day to be out in our Progreso Lakes yard.  And as I had to wait on a FedEx delivery, I made the most of it.  This sharp Wood Duck was yard bird # 194.


Otherwise a quick flyby Gray Hawk and our first Northern Cardinal for the year were nice.  The American Pipits made another appearance but I decided to wait till after breakfast and missed a photo opp.  Eight Lark Sparrows have been coming to the seed I throw out in the lane.  Hope they bring some of their cousins.


Otherwise it was just the usual guys.  62 species for the day.
