This is one of those questions that 99% of forum readers will ignore. It's the other 1% I am counting on here :-). I will be going to High Island in Texas in mid-April. I will be there by myself for a few days and then will return with a birding tour group a few days later. I understand that, as with other migrant trap sites, there is much variation from day to day (and year to year) in the number of birds that are present. That said, is it worth it to reserve some time in the photo blind at Boy Scout Woods? Has anyone done this?

I have been to High Island several times but have never used the photo blind. However, if you find yourself in that area on a slow day for migrants, be sure to check out the rookery at Smith Oaks Sanctuary. It should be rockin' and rollin' that time of year. I don't think you will regret it.

The Canon EOS R10 is a 24MP APS-C mirrorless camera built around Canon's RF mount. It's released alongside a collapsible 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom to give a usefully compact, remarkably 'Rebel'-like camera.
