    Waterthrushes Texas

    Saw these Waterthrush on April 9 and 25th respectively in High Island Texas. The first, I know, is a Louisiana, but it seems that the white is notas white as I would expect for the Louisiana.

    Pippets south Texas?

    There were a number of these birds in the plowed fields that I was looking in for Mountain Plovers. There were a number of Horned Larks also seen there. If these are Spragues Pippets, I was expecting to find them in grass fields.
