Tips for Birding

Trees in West Texas are pure gold for birding and cemeteries in West Texas usually have trees--and frequently irrigated grave plots which are even better than trees for birding--water in a desert is a magnet for birds. 

Birds of Interest

Unfortunately, despite there being 16 checklists for this hotspot, there aren't that many birds of note to report. Scaled Quail, Common Nighthawk, Killdeer, Swainson's Hawk, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Say's Phoebe, Vermilion and Ash-throated Flycatcher and Western Kingbird, Bewick's and Cactus Wren and Bullock's Oriole were all in the first week of June.

About this Location

The pin for this hotspot is not in the correct place (it's a block or two south of the actual location)  but you should be able to find the cemetery until the pin gets relocated to the correct spot.
