The Purple Gallinule remains in the Kiskadee Deck area for a second day. You should have a good chance of seeing it, either from the deck or the far south end of the second bridge. Least Bittern chicks and adults can still be easily seen in the Hunter's Lane Resaca. https://picasaweb.google.com/rollingsoles/2012615?authuser=0&feat=directlink -- Sherry Wilson Resident Park Host Resaca de la Palma State Park 1000 New Carmen Road Brownsville, TX 78521 956-350-2920 Bird Walks every Saturday - 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Butterfly Walks every Sunday - 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Night Hikes every Friday (must RSVP by 5:00 p.m. Thurs) - small fee Nature Tram Rides - Thursday thru Sunday http://www.facebook.com/resacadelapalma DIRECTIONS: The main entrance to Resaca de la Palma State Park is located on New Carmen Blvd. From Expressway 77/83, exit at Olmito, take FM 1732, follow for 2.5 miles; turn left at New Carmen Road; follow for 1.5 miles; shortly after the gravel hump in the road, turn left to enter the park. *Learn how you can help Texas State Parks:* http://bit.ly/sVdilb 42 species (+1 other taxa) Black-bellied Whistling-Duck 2 Plain Chachalaca 10 Pied-billed Grebe 1 Great Blue Heron 1 Great Egret 1 Green Heron 2 Yellow-crowned Night-Heron 1 White Ibis 3 Turkey Vulture 2 White-tailed Kite 1 Purple Gallinule 1 Common Gallinule 2 American Coot 1 Killdeer 1 White-winged Dove 27 Mourning Dove 6 Common Ground-Dove 4 White-tipped Dove 3 Yellow-billed Cuckoo 8 Groove-billed Ani 9 Common Pauraque 1 Ruby-throated/Black-chinned Hummingbird 1 Buff-bellied Hummingbird 1 Green Kingfisher 1 Golden-fronted Woodpecker 7 Brown-crested Flycatcher 2 Great Kiskadee 6 Couch's Kingbird 5 White-eyed Vireo 3 Green Jay 21 Purple Martin 1 Black-crested Titmouse 6 Verdin 2 Northern Mockingbird 20 Long-billed Thrasher 1 Olive Sparrow 15 Northern Cardinal 11 Painted Bunting 2 Red-winged Blackbird 12 Great-tailed Grackle 23 Bronzed Cowbird 5 Altamira Oriole 1 Lesser Goldfinch 1
