This bird hit a window at the SA Botanical Garden. This was during an iNat training class! Craig and all agreed it was a female Wilson’s Warbler. We put it in a box on a cloth and kept it in a dark, quiet place for an hour. It recovered and we released it!

Taken during the Guadalupe Delta Christmas Bird Count on the Guadalupe River along the Womack Ranch.

Every year the Womack Ranch generously has a staff member take me on a boat up and down the river. We make frequent stops where I hop out, walk into the woods, and play an Eastern Screech-Owl recording to attract songbirds. This year the day started out extremely cold, 23 degrees! But it was a clear day without much wind, and it warmed up to the mid 60s by mid-afternoon. It was beautiful and it was an amazing way to spend a day.

This species is one of the lingering neotropical migrants that this count is intended to find, species that usually winter further south than Texas.
