I checked out South Padre Island today to see if the cool front had grounded 
anything.  It's still early in the season so I saw early spring stuff: 
Scissor-tailed and Vermillion Flycatchers, Gray Catbirds, Northern Parulas, 
Louisiana Waterthrush, Black-and-white and Yellow-throated Warblers, and two 
Indigo Buntings.  Driving the beach to the Port Mansfield Channel I saw over a 
hundred Least Terns and over a Thousand Royal Terns. Hundreds of Brown Pelicans 
streamed north.  The only uncommon bird was a Common Tern.  And I finally saw 
my first Northern Gannet for the year.  Photos are on my blog.
