Hi David, I am coming from Boston for my first ever trip to the LRGV from April 9 - 22 and have been lurking on the texbirds email list for a few weeks now, whetting my appetite for all your fabulous birds. One of the birds I would dearly love to see is Loggerhead Shrike, but I have not seen them reported, though I have not yet checked ebird. This would be a life bird for me. Is there any chance you would share the location with me? A reply on or off list would be fine with me.
