The September Bird Survey had 3 birders this morning and 17 species. Although our species count doesn't reflect it, we are in fall migration now. After the little cold front we had last week, the Houston area saw lots of migrants for several days. Now with an unfavorable wind direction, we are back to lower bird numbers. We should continue to see migrating birds in our area for the next 6 weeks or so.

Our next survey will be on Saturday October 15, 2022. Due to a schedule conflict, the November survey will be on Saturday November 12, 2022.

Huge thanks to Mary Goldsby, Woodland Heights resident, for leading these surveys.
