Five miles of hiking netted a few good birds this morning at Yturria Brush unit 
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR west of La Joya on US 83 in Hidalgo County.  
Best were two Green-tailed Towhees, two White-crowned Sparrows and ten 
Black-throated Sparrows.  It's still really dry but recent rains have a few 
grass plants and forbs greening up.
