Hi, all!
Last Thursday I took visiting birders Alec and Brian Anderson around Hidalgo
County for some specialties and rarities; highlights include Sprague's Pipit
at Anzalduas, Hidalgo's famous Monk Parakeets, the Burrowing Owl, one of
Santa Ana's Jacanas along with some Fulvous Whistling Ducks, and great looks
at Estero's famous Pauraque, along with a hummingbird Trifecta! Pictures
can be seen on my Facebook page (although you may need to scroll down some):
