Today we started birding in earnest – well High Island actually! We were up early (unsurprisingly as we adjust to the new time zone), breakfasted at MacDonalds, before heading past Anahuac NWR to High Island. The weather was certainly not classic ‘fall’ conditions but the gentle northerly and cloudy skies did produce a few grounded migrants in the various wooded reserves around the township. After lunch we made for the coast to check out our AirBnB and bird Rollover Pass. A good selection of shorebirds, terns and gulls, with two species of pelican and Black Skimmer thrown in for good measure. A final evening season back at Boy Scout Wood added a couple more birds, making our total 98 for the trip so far. Not too shabby.
