There is one major difference between the Black-whiskered Vireo and the
Tropical Mockingbird both of which were both found on the same day at Sabine
Woods. One species is known to be highly migratory while the other is not
known to migrate at all. With a steady stream of oil tankers chugging from
Campeche up to the Texas City, there is a ready conduit for transportation of
nonmigratory Mexican species to the Texas coast. These could also include
Double-toothed Kite, Yucatan Vireo and Greenish Elaenia, all accepted by TBRC
for some reason. The bottom line is: If it feels good, count it!
