Hi, all!
Joined some friends from San Diego for a last ditch effort at migrants at
South Padre on Friday; the wind blew a lot of stuff over, I think, but we
had some highlights, including Blackpoll Warbler, Philadelphia Vireo, and a
very cooperative female Least Bittern! Blow by blow with pictures is here:
