Hi, all!
Made it to Alpine from McAllen today on a quickie vacation, with a quick
stop at Seminole Canyon SP for an exercise walk. Highlights include an
Audubon's Oriole and Great Horned Owl along a couple of "rest stops", and Rock
Wren, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Scaled Quail, Lark Bunting, and
White-throated Swifts at the park. The blow-by-blow with pictures is here:
