Great Whooper Season and CBC Brings Rare Birds
31. December 2010 by Capt. Tommy.
We have been seeing 20 to 40 Whoopers each trip with at least one pair up close.
We have been seeing a male long-tailed duck from the tour boat “Skimmer” out of Fulton Harbor, Fulton TX. This bird has consistently been at the north east end of Sundown Bay on the Intra Coastal Waterway with a raft of Buffleheads . Bron Rorex first sighted this duck on the Christmas Bird Count Tuesday December 21.
I also picked up a Parasitic Jaeger two weeks ago while crossing Mesquite Bay. He flew right across the bow. It is really cool to see something so different from what we see every day! Unfortunately it was a one time deal.
Come see us! The birding is great!
