Tishomingo

The Prairie and Timbers Audubon group took a field trip to Tishomingo NWR on the north shore of Lake Texoma back on Sept. 17th.  Although the birding started out very good with many shorebirds, pelicans, a Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle, and several species of warblers, it soon slowed.  After lunch at a cafe in the town of Tishomingo, we went our separate ways to travel back home.  I stuck around later than most, and managed to captures a thunderstorm developing north of town, as well as a Cottonmouth crossing the road back on the refuge.
