John and I saw a male Varied Bunting at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park this morning. We saw along the east fork of the Rio Grande Hiking Trail, at least a quarter mile south of the turnoff for the Hawk Tower. No photos, but we had great looks at the adult male singing at close range. Just FYI for birders heading to Bentsen; probably easier to see farther west. Also had 4 Gray Hawks in the park this morning, and several Northern Beardless-Tyrannulets.
