Well the migration is running pretty smoothly. The Wigeons are back and now the cormorants are making their return. Won't be long till we get more species coming in. Winter Migration is just beginning folks.
After my nephew's soccer game, Elizabeth went to "Sew Fabricated" fabric store, and I went to this park -- been here many times before, and it's quite nice.
Female, most likely non-breeding given the location.
After lunch, I went to do some birding at Cobblestone Trail Park. Spotted a few fun birds!
Deep Creek Ranch, Uvalde County Texas
Freeeeeeezing cold day today, but the Christmas Bird Count carries on! Had a blast with Annika, Adam, and Fonda watching birds today. :) Forgive the poor photos (it was cold!). :)

In Austin for the TPWD orientation, so I explored the area next to the hotel. Spotted some neat things! :)
Poor photographs but pretty good visual ID.
Male Argia plana
Went out with the crew looking for an interesting Argia sp. posted here (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/8286492) by @alchemist2000. I found numerous A. plana, some deviating a little from the standard looks and a few A. immunda. In nearby habitats A. sedula was present as well as Enallagma civile.
Even though we didn't see quite what we had come for I had a great time and it was good to see a lot of friends, meet some new ones and check out LLELA's new visitor center and their nice photo display and resources.
