Hi, all!
While taking Griffin and Diane on their second field trip (with me, anyway),
besides getting Griffin life bird #500 (Cassin's Sparrow) and knockout views
of a pair of Aplomado Falcons, a Palm Warbler was in a feeding flock near
the old chicken coops on Old Port Isabel Road! (BTW, the road is in
relatively great shape - they must have recently graded it.) No luck on the
Tropical Parula or Groove-billed Anis at Laguna Atascosa, however. :( Some
pictures are on my Facebook page:
