A trip to Starr County Tuesday found us some great birds.  We flushed 2
Scaled Quail and a covey of about 10 Northern Bobwhite at the Starr County
Park, had 3 Oriole species at Salineno, and the best find was a Rock Wren
behind the Rec Hall at Falcon State Park.  This was confirmed by photos
taken at the time.  Since the habitat was all wrong, I at first thought it
must be a juvenile Cactus Wren, but after seeing the photos and comparing
them to website photos and consulting with 3 top-notch birders, it was
confirmed as a Rock Wren.  (there were no rock piles around and it was
moving around a campsite, and in and out of the stack of wood near the
fire pit.
