In the Corpus Christi area: In my backyard this morning near Everhart and Staples I had a male Baltimore Oriole, a Northern Waterthrush (who knows why he was in my yard), a Buff-bellied Hummingbird and a swarm of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. At Blucher Park downtown I saw a beautiful male Canada Warbler, an immature female American Redstart, four Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, a couple of Kiskadees, a Long-billed Thrasher, and a Swainson's Thrush.
