Hi all,
 

Headed north to explore the lower Panhandle today, but couldn't resist a
stop at the Falfurrias Rest Stop to try for the Painted Redstart, and he's
still there, singing away, along with an Eastern Bluebird and Summer
Tanager, which rounded out the colors!  Padded the list with some unexpected
Valley birds, as I really didn't plan to stop there today but I got
impulsive. J  Got turned around in Ballinger so I'm in Coleman right now.
