Hi, all!
Participated in the Harlingen CBC this morning; was overcast and in the
60's, and a little breezy. My section covered the area where the Mountain
Plovers had been hanging out (still a no-show) and areas to the south. Had
an unidentified empid ("felt" like a Least, but it didn't hang around long
enough to get a good look), plus what I'm assuming was an Indigo Bunting
"pik"ing (EBird likes it, but it's a write-up bird for the count circle).
A few pictures can be seen on my Facebook page:
