Hi, all!
The Birder Patrol had a very successful trip to Starr County today: bird of
the day was a Rufous-crowned Sparrow at the pullout for Mangus Lake along FM
2098 (the lake was dry, BTW)! Other highlights include a large flock of
Green Parakeets in Rio Grande City (very rare in Starr County, apparently),
a nice selection of sparrows along Dump Road (including Clay-colored,
Cassin's, and Grasshopper), a Dickcissel at the Salineno feeders, and a Lark
Bunting on the way home! Pictures and a video of the parakeets are on my
Facebook page:
