This blog is to allow me a forum to report my bird and nature sightings from my neighborhood in eastern Travis County of Texas.
It was inspired by a similar effort by another birder Mikael Behrens. Mikael does a bird walk in a northwest Austin neighborhood that is in Williamson County.

My neighborhood has a park that borders the Colorado River. My thinking is to bird this park on a regular basis to monitor the nature activities along this section of river.
On January 26 I spent some time in that park and collected 34 species of birds. The highlight birds from that morning were a Vermillion Flycatcher and Barred Owl.
A partial list of birds follows:

Observation date: 1/26/08
