Unsettled weather brought in eleven species of warblers this morning at 
Frontera Audubon Thicket in Weslaco.  While I was in one corner of the Thicket, 
Mary Gustafson called to tell me she had just found a first year Zone-tailed 
Hawk on the opposite side.  I missed it but later in the morning I saw it 
soaring over the thicket with a Gray Hawk calling from the south.  I think this 
is the first Zone-tail for the Thicket.
