Stevan,
It is the first arriving spring migrant in the Trans-Pecos as evidenced by
the Marathon area sightings mentioned by Heidi. True winter records have
only been reported along the Rio Grande northwest to the Del Rio area, Big
Bend National Park and in the El Paso area, where it seems to be most
frequent. The only inland TP record that I am aware of is the 3 birds on
the Balmorhea CBC a few years ago. KBB
