Lynn and I have put photos from a Holiday trip to the Rio Grande Valley at the link below. http://www.pbase.com/joanl/rgv_dec We failed to see the American Woodcock at the National Butterfly Center but did have good birds and a beautiful Mexican Silverspot (photo). No Amazon Kingfisher for us but did have both Green Kingfisher and Belted on the trip. Both Harriss Hawk and a beautiful Grey Hawk were seen at Santa Ana. We had two White-tailed Kites and a Eastern Screech Owl at Estero Llano Grande and a Blomfilds Beauty Butterfly (photo) on the way out. There were three White-tailed Hawks near Anzalduas. A good trip with over a hundred species including a Tropical Parula at the Sarita rest stop on Hwy 77.
