- Saw and photographed mature male Golden-cheeked Warbler at watering area with a slow drip onto the ground from the water hose.
Caretaker's note: A water hose is draped on the wire cage that is there to protect plants from deer browse. A very slow drip is left on the water hose. Many birds visit this watering site. The sound of the dripping water attracts the birds. This was a very lucky photograph of the Golden-cheeked Warbler, who happened by the water drip for a drink just as the photographer was setting up his blind for photography.
- Saw eight various sparrows.
- Also saw two female Brown-headed Cowbirds
Caretaker's note: The Brown-headed Cowbird is a predator species that will be removed from the local population.
- Introduced new Audubon Society Brand "Finch Festival" seed mix (Sunflower chips, Golden German Millet, White Millet, Red Millet and Niger)
