Apologies in advance for this cumbersome request, but I’d really like some 
help!

I’m planning a trip to the Rio Grande Valley and areas North/Northeast of 
there up to Corpus Christi (and perhaps further north, for the Attwater 
Prairie-Chicken refuge), and I’m a little overwhelmed! I live up in New 
England so many of the common birds that are around I have never seen and 
would like to, in addition to the many regional specialties. I’ve got a long 
list that I’m working my way through, but if anyone has any advice on 
particular places I should go or things I should know to find any of the 
birds listed below I’d really appreciate it. Even just to say you've seen one 
of these birds at a spot near your house is helpful to me! And if anyone is 
headed up to New England I’d be glad to return the favor!

Thanks!
