I got up this morning after last night's storm and racked up ten species of
warblers and a Black-billed Cuckoo in my Weslaco yard before even putting my
shoes on. So I headed over to Frontera Audubon Thicket where migrants were the
most abundant I've seen in several years. Not a lot of diversity, only 14
species of warblers, but lots of birds. It was a good day to practice empid
IDs. Best bird was a singing Bell's Vireo.
