REGION I - PANHANDLE
Much-needed rains in October refilled playas, lakes and stock tanks and record summer heat gave way to more seasonable fall temperatures. Shorebirds appeared in often huge numbers in the northern and western Panhandle and raptor numbers were on the increase in the south. Western species such as Townsend's Solitaires, Red Crossbills and Flammulated and N. SAW-WHET OWLS added interest to fall birding. Warbler and vireo migration was lively with numerous Townsend's and MacGillivray's Warbler records in the Lubbock and Amarillo areas. Several warblers lingered later than expected, including a Blue-winged Warbler in mid-November in Amarillo. Empid flycatchers were seen in above average numbers, with Willow Flycatchers numerous in the west and Least Flycatchers prevalent in the south. Hummingbird migration was heavier than average throughout the region. Anna's and Broad-tailed hummingbirds made rare appearances in the Abilene area.
