Despite heavy cloudy overcast my first time visit to Pedernales Falls State Park was a lot of fun with some great birds. Highlights: An early Painted Bunting and Indigo Bunting, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Western Scrub Jay, and two lifers for me Pine Siskin & Canyon Towhee. 44 species found.
