Comings and Goings

The number of bird species migrating into, out of and through Bexar County throughout the year is quite remarkable.

I included a little more detail in the post on July 12th about the birds at Elmendorf Lake.

This is the time of year when many birds are arriving to spend the winter and others are leaving to return to their winter homes. The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron will soon be headed to their winter home along the Gulf Coast:






This set of photographs was taken on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River upstream from the U.S. 90 bridge on Friday, September 13, 2013.
