Hi, all!
We were without Internet access at the Ranch until about five minutes ago,
so Saturday's report is getting out a day late... :-P But the highlight of
migrant-chasing around Weslaco was definitely the four Hudsonian Godwits
that came shooting at me over Ibis Pond, and I was able to get enough of a
look through my bins to positively ID them before they wheeled over the
butterfly garden and out of sight! Kyle and I headed over to Dowitcher Pond
to
see if perchance they landed there, but they didn't :-( so I'm not sure
these are chaseable.
Although not as birdy as I heard Friday was, I was certainly happy with the
day's list with several new year birds, including Philadelphia Vireo at
Frontera! Full trip report, photos, and recordings are here:
