It's been more than a month since we've been to any of the state parks in the area. In fact, our visits to birding parks has been minimal this year probably due to a combination of bad weather, timing and other commitments. Our timing today at Bentsen state park was good as we saw a lot of birds --- regular ones and some visitors.

The park was a noisy place today as the hundreds of red winged blackbirds were busy singing.
