On the Upper Texas Coast large numbers of

seen between Dayton and Liberty on Hwy 90. Shorebirds
are beginning to come in good numbers at Bolivar

reports of EMPIDONAX FLYCATCHERS, many ORCHARD ORIOLES
(Iceturus spurious) and a few early warblers coming
in. A female SCARLET TANGER (Piranga olivacea) was
reported from Quintana on July 29.
In the Rio Grande Valley, YELLOW-GREEN VIREOS (Vivrens
vireo) are still being seen at Sabal Palms Audubon
