I spent the day in Kleberg County trying to add Botter's Sparrow to my life list but did not succeed. I did find some good birds (for me) including a Swainson's Hawk, 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, a Groove-billed Ani, 2 Ash-throated F/C, 13 Brown-crested F/C, 7 Curve-billed Thrasher, and 11 Hooded Orioles. Complete list follows.
