I currently have mixed feelings. The eBird report from a particular person and location had several birds that I've never seen before so I went out to the spot. It was fairly quiet. Mostly a bunch of Turkey Vultures. But I did find two new birds.
The first was the Canyon Wren. Two of them were hoping of the rocks that make up the dam for Lake Georgetown. But they were tiny and kept hoping around so I had a really hard time finding them in my camera or binoculars. With patience, I finally got a few pictures. I had no idea what they were but I strongly suspected that it was a new bird.
Then, while walking back to the car, I scared up three or four more birds. These were Vesper Sparrows. Again... I can't tell all of the sparrows apart and even Google and eBird disagree but the Vesper Sparrow has a white eye ring while the Savannah Sparrow had a yellow eye brow. Thus, this is a Vesper Sparrow. Weee!!!
