Hi, all!
Finally got a few pictures up on Facebook: Yesterday Salineno was a hit
with more Altamira Orioles in one spot than I've ever seen, and the
Audubon's Oriole coming in regularly! We stopped in Rio Grande City for
Green Parakeets and Weslaco for three kinds of parrots! Today we finally
bagged the Aplomado Falcons along Boca Chica Boulevard, and had a great
Indigo Snake along Old Port Isabel Road! Northern Waterthrush along Boca
Chica was a highlight as well. Pictures for both days are here:
