Houston Area - Upper Texas Coast

Freeport: Sunday, December 14, 2008
Begun by Victor Emanuel, the Freeport Count is consistently one of the top in the nation; in 2007 it placed 6th. Habitat includes seashore, barrier islands, prairie & woodland. Access to Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, Dow Chemical Company lands, and the Gulf shore provide an amazing variety of habitat and often produce rare winter birds for the Upper Texas Coast such as Least Grebe, Summer Tanager, Sage Thrasher, Masked Booby, and assorted warblers. The count is organized and reported by compiler Mike Austin. Victor Emanuel remains an honorary co-compiler and an active participant in the count. The Freeport Christmas Bird Count works through its co-compilers and is divided into ten areas with their own leader & unique habitats. For more information and assignments, contact Mike Austin by e-mail or by telephone (281-992-8888).

Mad Island Marsh: Monday, December 15, 2008
We reported 235 species in 2007 and are again Number One in the nation for species. (Last year's results). Most of the count is on private land and participation in the CBC is the only way to gain access to some very productive wildlife lands. The diversity of the CBC is great and most sections have multiple exclusives. The CBC features extensive native grasslands, brushlands, floodplain forests, beaches and coastal marshes. We need skilled birders to scan for pelagics over the Gulf from land, skilled shorebirders to ride on boats to survey expansive mudflats and marshes of the delta of the Colorado River, and birders to survey narrow forest areas along the river for lingering neotrops. We get super support from local sponsors and a unique t-shirt and a quality count down meal are provided to all participants. Contact Brent Ortego for count assignments. More information on Brent Ortego's web site.

Turkey Creek: Monday, December 15, 2008
This count in Hardin and Tyler Counties includes the Turkey Creek and Hickory Creek Savannah Units of the Big Thicket National Preserve. Meet at the Big Thicket Visitor Center on US69 at FM420, about 7 miles north of Kountze at 6:30 AM. Sponsored by the Big Thicket National Preserve. Contact Dave Roemer at 409-951-6720 or John Whittle at 409-722-4193 for more information.

Galveston: Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Anyone who would like to participate is welcome! This count includes Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary and Horseshoe Marsh Bird Sanctuary. Last year we listed 171 species. Highlights included Red-eyed Vireo, Broad-winged Hawk, Hairy Woodpecker, Nashville Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Glaucous Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Yellow and Black Rails, Stilt Sandpiper, Groove-billed Ani, Horned Grebe, and Fulvous Whistling Ducks. The destruction caused by Ike will probably make things more difficult than usual, but this count is always interesting. Most of the count circle is water, but the count typically has a species total within the top 20 or 30 CBCs nationally. Dwight Peake, who has moved to San Antonio, is coming back for this count and will be the compiler. Assisting him is Gordon Nunn. If you'd like to participate, please contact Gordon Nunn, telephone (h) 409-740-0082 (c) 409-770-7034 or Dwight Peake.

Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR: Wednesday, December 17, 2008
This is a wonderful opportunity to bird the Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR in Eagle Lake, TX. This count hails as having one of the highest species count of all inland CBCs in North America. Anyone interested in participating in this CBC must contact Sumita Prasad prior to the CBC date so that we have a head count. Participants should expect to meet at the refuge headquarters in Eagle Lake by 6:15 AM and bring lunch and whatever gear necessary (rain gear, snacks, etc.) for a good day's birding. The countdown dinner will be held at the Sportsman's Restaurant in Eagle Lake, TX at sundown. Should you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the compiler, Sumita Prasad, 832-453-4374 (messages). Many, many thanks for your interest and participation in the Attwater NWR CBC.

San Bernard NWR: Friday, December 19, 2008
This unique count provides opportunities to bird areas of the refuge not normally open to the public including a newly-acquired tract along the west end of CR306, the Bludworth tract along Cocklebur Slough (2003 acquisition) and the nearby McNeill tract which now boasts the official state champion Live Oak. Also open for counters is the state's Nannie Stringfellow Wildlife Management Area. We have rail buggy slots open for those hoping to see Yellow Rail and possibly even Black Rails. There will even be a pre-dawn run for those interested in having the best chance of seeing these elusive species. This count also claims some of the best hospitality around with the refuge staff providing an air boat, rail buggy, and 4WD trucks. Not sure who the chef will be this year, but I'm told we will again be offering the famous countdown dinner of seafood gumbo! Although this count still provides the small count atmosphere, it has plenty of big count diversity with 190 or more species most years. You can join us by contacting either of the co-compilers or by showing up at the refuge headquarters on CR306 at 0630 hours the morning of December 19th. Co-compilers Ron Weeks  (or phone evenings 979-299-0066) or Jennifer Wilson (or phone daytime 979-964-4011).

Bolivar Peninsula: Saturday, December 20, 2008

Contact Bill Godley at 281-341-6684 (email: fribbish@msn.com) for details and choose your area now if you have a favorite location.

Houston: December 21, 2008
This count includes the area around Baytown. I am in great need of counters to cover some very good areas and could really use help in making this a good count year. Please contact me, David Sarkozi, by email or phone 713-412-4409 or an area leader to sign up, and for assignments and further information.

Johnson Bayou - Southwest Louisiana: Sunday, December 21, 2008
Johnson Bayou CBC has a rich history beginning in 1976 to present. While much of the area is private, local land owners have allowed access to their property for this count, areas rarely birded and normally inaccessible to birders at other times offering a good chance for oddities. We have permission from the land owners ie. Gray Estate and Crain Brothers to be on their properties. Areas covered include beach, costal cheniers, marsh and grasslands. Johnson Bayou is located off Hwy 82 in Louisiana just across from Pleasure Island, TX (east of Sabine Pass). From Port Arthur take Hwy 82 east for about 15 miles into LA. The school sits between a store and the Head-of-the-Hallow Cemetery. Last year's count included White-tailed Kite, Crested Caracara, Merlin, a number of LeConte's Sparrows, Seaside Sparrow, Blue Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting. American Woodcock, Peregrine Falcon and Chuck-will's-widow were seen on the 2005 count. Meet at 7:00 AM at the Johnson Bayou school. This count has great potential with enough observers. We always need more birders on this count and this is a great chance to find a "one-of-a-kind" bird for a CBC. Every birder WILL make an impact on the results of this count. Please contact Ken Sztraky, telephone 409-385-2835, for more information, assignments and directions.

Trinity River: Friday, December 26, 2008

Buffalo Bayou: Sunday, December 28, 2008
The Buffalo Bayou CBC is centered at the Houston Audubon's Edith L. Moore Sanctuary. It extends from Memorial Park on the east to beyond Hwy 6 on the west; from the Southwest Freeway at West Belt on the south to FM 529 near Jersey Village on the north. This area includes sizable chunks of excellent habitat: Houston Arboretum, Art Storey Park, Addicks & Barker Reservoirs, Bear Creek Park and Buffalo Bayou. Last year this count produced 123 species of birds and over the last ten years this count has averaged about 123 species with a high count of 132 species being hit twice. It is possible to see up to 15 species of sparrows on this count, including the elusive Henslow's and Grasshopper Sparrows. Other "Special Birds" seen over the last five years have been: Hooded Merganser, American Bittern, Solitary Sandpiper, American Woodcock, Common Ground-Dove, Black Phoebe, Couch's Kingbird, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Spotted Towhee, Eastern Towhee, Purple Finch and Pine Siskin. This count is one of the most popular in Texas; we would like you to join in the fun and help us eclipse the high count of 132 species. There are two ways to participate: (1) Be a Field Observer - Join one of the teams in the field ($5 fee) (2) Be a Feeder/Yard Watcher - Because so much of the Buffalo Bayou CBC area is residential, Feeder Watchers (those who stay at home and observe their feeder, yard and/or neighborhood) are extremely important to the count and greatly increase the efficiency of the count by observing species that otherwise would not be seen, such as hummingbirds. Feeder Watchers don't pay a participation fee and submitting your observations is easy via an on-line data form accessible on the web site. For more information, see the Buffalo Bayou CBC web site or contact co-compilers Michael Williams (preferably by email) or via phone at 832-723-0653 or Adam Wood, 713-515-1692.

The countdown dinner tentatively will be at Iguana Joe's just north of I-10 on Hwy 146 in Mont Belvieu. We will meet there between 5:00-5:30 PM. For further details please contact Harry Elliott, or phone 832-444-0965.

Cypress Creek (Katy Prairie): Thursday, January 1, 2009
Last year we had access to a record number of acres thanks to the Katy Prairie Conservancy and its many land partners. Access to other private ranches and acreages like the Kelsey Ranch, Laas Ranch and Bridgeland Properties gave us access to over 32,000 acres. These private ranches contain much of Cypress and Bessie Creek bottoms within the count circle providing a habitat diversity unparalleled on the Katy Prairie. Unusual birds included Yellow-crowned Night-heron, Glossy Ibis, Golden Eagle, Prairie Falcon, Common Moorhen, Ladderback Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, Cave Swallow, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Palm Warbler, and Pyrrhuloxia. Count Compiler: Fred Collins.

All are invited, even if you are not an experienced birder or are only able to bird for part of the day. Feeder watchers are welcome to participate. Let us know in advance and we will find a suitable group for you to join. The more pairs of eyes in a group, the more birds will be seen. Contact Ken Sztraky, telephone 409-385-2835, for more information.

San Jacinto Wilderness: Saturday, January 3, 2009
Love to bird - but also love to kayak? Do you enjoy seeing winged wonders in a true wilderness setting? Then come join us for the 2nd annual count, sponsored by Lake Houston Park! In January 2007, with barely two weeks notice, we had 19 birders of all ages and skill levels come and participate in what everyone knew would be only a trial run, and we ended up with over 5000 individuals across 80 species. For 2008, the first official count for this circle, an incredible 43 birders joined in an awesome effort and gathered in almost 11,000 birds across 93 species! Will 2009 be the year this unique inland circle breaks into triple digits? Come and be a part of it! For 2009, most groups will be meeting 7 AM inside the Jack-in-the-Box, 20130 US-59, in New Caney, TX. This is at the southwest corner of the US-59/FM-1485 intersection. Five groups have been formed: Lake Houston Park Trekkers, Damuth Preserve Diehards, Dayton Prairie Muckers, Tri-Lakes Roadies, and Iron Duck Kayakers. Read descriptions of groups.

Guadalupe River Delta - McFaddin Family Ranches: Thursday, December 18, 2008
We reported 225 species in 2007 and were Number Two in the nation for species. (Last year's results). The Guadalupe Delta was designed to monitor lingering neotrops, but in the process of capturing 15 miles of forested river corridor we also contained diverse wetlands/brushlands/grasslands within our count circle. As a result, this count circle has been reporting some amazing species tallies again mostly on private property. One state Wildlife Management Area adds greatly to species diversity, but the bulk of the birding is on private ranches or industrial property. We need birders to stalk lingering neotrops in South Texas Tamaulipan thorn-scrub, riparian woodlands and grasslands. We have miles of bayous and rivers within the count circle which provide access to forested tracts by boat which cannot easily be reached otherwise. We have access to 25,000 acres of private ranches, 7200 acres of conservation land and 2 large industrial holdings. The Delta has sponsorship from Lyondell Corporation with activity fees and a supper at a camp fire in the river bottom for the tally is provided to each participant. Contact Brent Ortego (telephone 361-576-0022, ext. 24) count assignments. More information on Brent Ortego's web site.

Rockport: Saturday, December 27, 2008
Our area includes Live-oak Peninsula down to Estes, all of Port Bay, a narrow strip south of SH 188, Bayside, Mission Bay and most of Copano Bay. It consists of urban areas, marshes, open water, grassland, oak mottes, farmlands, mesquite and other brushy areas. We had 36 observers last year and would welcome more for this year. 165 species were counted last year. Usually there are unusual species found. Our count will be conducted from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Please contact compiler Robert Edwards or phone (361) 790-7904 to sign up and for further information.

Here we find many arid upland species comprised of raptors and wintering sparrows, as well as water birds. Much of this area is made up of grassland, salt lakes, and arid brush country with sandier soils and ranch land. The Valley Nature Center in Weslaco is paying for all participants' count fees & dinner!! Please call ahead or e-mail to register. Contact Martin Hagne, 956-969-2475.

Chaparral Wildlife Management Area: Wednesday, December 17, 2008
The Chaparral Wildlife Management Area was affected by a wildfire in March - this will provide very valuable data in our assessment of the impact of the fire both short and long term on the bird component of this ecosystem. The CWMA invites you to participate in our annual count; it's a lot of fun with nice people. The event takes place rain or shine, and the more eyes we have looking the more birds we find. Birders, beginners to advanced, interested in participating should contact me at the email or phone listed below. Once we know how many are participating, we assign teams so we can get thorough coverage. The CWMA consists of 15,200 acres of South Texas brush country. The CWMA Directions: The Chaparral Wildlife Management Area is located 8 miles west of Artesia Wells on F.M. 133. Take I-35, to Artesia Wells/Catarina exit, turn west. Participants will meet at the Chaparral WMA office at 7:00 AM.

A countdown dinner is held starting at sunset at Nolan Ryan's Bass Inn on Hwy. 72 west of Three Rivers. Coverage of the count circle is arranged prior to count day. Groups are assigned the night before, and each group is responsible for getting themselves going in the morning, so there is no pre-count meeting and no "official" start time other than "first light". Owling will be conducted starting at 12:01 AM. Please contact Paul Sunby if interested for further details.

Coastal Tip of Texas: Saturday, December 20, 2008
All interested parties will meet at Laguna Atascosa NWR Visitor Center at 6:00 AM to distribute maps and answer questions. We would like as many volunteers as possible.
