I was part of a group from the RGV Birding Festival that today found 5 or 6 White-collared Seedeaters at La Laja Rahch, between San Ygnacio and Laredo. A festival group at the same site yesterday found 16 seedeaters. Taken together with the latest report from San Ygnacio, it appears we have a bumper crop of these rarities. A photo of the seedeater, plus a few other recent RGV birds, are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/13451078@N03/sets/72157649012672712/ Bob Becker Rancho Viejo Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
