I spent most of last week in South Texas, part of the time birding between San 
Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley with Mark Korducki and part of the time with 
friends who work at Laguna Atascosa NWR. The weather was absolutely perfect 
except for a couple mornings of early dense fog but temps never failed to reach 
the 80's. Mark and I had very good looks at the continuing Northern Jacana and 
Northern Wheatear as well as my lifer Mountain Plovers, Sprague's Pipits, and 
Ferruginous Hawk but unfortunately the Amazon Kingfisher was not discovered 
until after we were in the area. As always, it was great to see most of the 
normal South Texas specialties as well. 

 

I spent a lot of time having fun with my new Canon DSLR and the following album 
includes photos of Reddish Egret, Mottled Duck, Tricolored Heron, Northern 
Wheatear, Mountain Plover, Couch's & Tropical Kingbird, Altamira Oriole, 
Clay-colored Thrush, Golden-fronted and Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Green Jay, 
White-tipped and Common Ground-Dove, Rock Wren, Least Grebe, Common Moorhen, 
Crested Caracara, Harris's Hawk, Eastern Screech-Owl, Black Vulture, Loggerhead 
Shrike, Long-billed Thrasher, Long-billed Curlew, Forster's and Royal Tern, 
Black Skimmer, and a few more. Enjoy!
