A pleasant morning at Frontera Audubon Thicket in Weslaco netted nine species 
of warblers, two Green Kingfishers, 20 Green Parakeets overhead and I heard a 
Gray Hawk calling.  Frontera is open 8AM-4PM Tues-Sat and Noon-4PM on Sundays.  
Here's the Ovenbird who was near the irrigation standpipe outside the gate to 
the Thicket.
