1-16-15 McAllen Nature Center & Quinta
On Friday, we enjoyed the beautiful habitat of McAllen Nature Center, which is 
open 8-12, Wednesday- Sunday.  You should visit here, great habitat and 
Clay-colored Thrush.   They now have a feeding station!

After a great lunch, we went to Quinta and almost stepped on the 7 Clay-colored 
Thrush that kept running near our path.  We also had Tropical Parula and two 
Gray Hawks.

Now for list:

Tropical Parula  1     Seen to left of main building in the middle canopy of a 
Hackberry tree along with BCTI and BGGN. Another birder had just seen and 
photographed the bird and was trying to relocate it. We had a glimpse of the 
bird showing its clean white underside with bright yellow breast and neck and 
dark head. It then apparently crossed the drive to an oak tree, along with 
other birds in the small flock.
