Mary Goldsby described the October Bird Walk as a very birdy survey, which means that the Fall migration is underway! We had 13 birders and 25 species. See below for a list and links to each bird species seen. Plus, check out this link from Mary to a terrific migration tool . There are additional tools under “Migration Tools” and in particular take a look at the “Migration Dashboard” and type in Harris County, Texas. Our next survey will be Saturday November 12th, 2022 at 7:30am.
