"Some of the recent local bird sightings are as follows.
On the 8th of January at the San Antonio Botanical Center there were a
Least Grebe, Common Moorhen, and a Long-billed Thrasher.
On the 13th at Smithson Valley there were 2 Rufous Hummingbirds
and also on the 13th at the Olmos Basin, two Red-shouldered Hawks were
reported.
At Mitchell lake on the 14th they had Hooded Mergansers, Bonaparte's
Gulls, Buffleheads, Northern Pintails, and Vermilion Flycatchers.
Also on the 14th at Brackenridge Park at Avenue A there were 2
Blue-headed Vireos, Cedar Waxwings and American Robins as well as
Dark-eyed Juncos.
The new Comanche Lookout Park at the corner of Nacogdoches and Judson
Roads might be an interesting place to start birding. We just had some
reports of Spotted Towhees, a Gnatcatcher and some Scrub Jays there.
Also at Hidden Valley Recreational Park (in south Bexar County) there
were Harris's Sparrow and both Belted and Green Kingfishers.
In other areas around the state, there is a report of Long-eared Owls
being seen near Carrollton, Texas. Call our tape and leave your
telephone number if you want details on where to find these birds.
Also there are reports of Mountain Bluebirds being seen near Bandera."
