Hi, all! Decided to bird instead of walk on my lunch hour at Edinburg Wetlands two days this week :-) and I'm kicking myself for not bringing my camera or recorder (just plain forgot it the second day), as right there in the parking lot, migrants were coming at me from all sides! (This was Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th...) On Tuesday a Willow Flycatcher was in my face, and on Wednesday a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was in my face, both calling vigorously, so between the vocalizations and the more obvious field marks, there was no mistaking what they were! However, after doing some on-line research, I'm taking Acadian Flycatcher off the Big Year list: although the calls I recorded at Frontera match those on a recording made by Ted Parker in Panama (and if anyone knew his vocalizations, he did), I found the "peeps" of Acadian and Yellow-bellied very similar, and even the literature describes them as such, so without a visual on the Frontera bird, I'm just not sure. So, substituting the Yellow-bellied for the Acadian, and logging Willow and Red-eyed Vireo for the year, that brings me up to 296 for the year! Here's a partial list of what I had over the two days (partial only in that I really wasn't paying attention to the resident birds): Black-bellied Whistling-Duck Dendrocygna autumnalis Blue-winged Teal Anas discors Neotropic Cormorant Phalacrocorax brasilianus Snowy Egret Egretta thula Yellow-billed Cuckoo Coccyzus americanus Black-chinned Hummingbird Archilochus alexandri Buff-bellied Hummingbird Amazilia yucatanensis Green Kingfisher Chloroceryle americana Golden-fronted Woodpecker Melanerpes aurifrons YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER Empidonax flaviventris WILLOW FLYCATCHER Empidonax traillii Great Crested Flycatcher Myiarchus crinitus Brown-crested Flycatcher Myiarchus tyrannulus Great Kiskadee Pitangus sulphuratus Warbling Vireo Vireo gilvus RED-EYED VIREO Vireo olivaceus Swainson's Thrush Catharus ustulatus Northern Mockingbird Mimus polyglottos Long-billed Thrasher Toxostoma longirostre Curve-billed Thrasher Toxostoma curvirostre Tennessee Warbler Oreothlypis peregrina Nashville Warbler Oreothlypis ruficapilla Common Yellowthroat Geothlypis trichas American Redstart Setophaga ruticilla Magnolia Warbler Setophaga magnolia Yellow Warbler Setophaga petechia Chestnut-sided Warbler Setophaga pensylvanica Black-throated Green Warbler Setophaga virens Canada Warbler Cardellina canadensis Wilson's Warbler Cardellina pusilla Northern Cardinal Cardinalis cardinalis Orchard Oriole Icterus spurius Lesser Goldfinch Spinus psaltria 33 SPECIES So far: 296 SPECIES Mary Beth Stowe McAllen, TX _www.miriameaglemon.com_ (http://www.miriameaglemon.com/)
