We spent the entire day at Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park and it was HOT. I was birder of the day with a rare Costa Rican bird called Clay-Colored Thrush! We also saw Green Jays, Great Kiskadee, Ringed Kingfisher, White-Tipped Dove, Hooded Oriole, Green Parakeets, and many more. Mom had 5 life birds today. She saw something shiny, wondered off and missed the Clay-Colored Thrush. So you know that we will be back there everyday until she sees it!
Two full days of birding in and around the city of Tulsa. Started with a quick look at Mill Creek Pond but most of the cool ducks were at the pond in the Heatheridge neighborhood around 95th and Sheridan. We then set out for Mohawk park. We located the Long-tailed duck on Lake Yahola and walked a short distance on one of the Oxley Nature Center trails before it started raining. Total of 54 species on day one.
