This section of the upper Texas coast from Hook's to Sabine Woods, seems to get a few rare reports of Mexican species now and then. I remember the Tropical Mockingbird and I also remember an unconfirmed case of Mangrove Vireo. We might well get more such reports if our Texbirders were aware they should study a Mexican bird book and then be on the look out for them, especially if consistent strong winds could push birds from the Yucatan Penns. to here. Such winds are more likely in tropical storm season, when most of us are no longer birding much on the coast, most late spring migrants gone, and the mosquitoes, flies increase their misery on anyone who dares to bird in the summer.
