Last week Virginia and I made the trip out to S. Llano SP for the Rufous-backed Robin that’s been hanging out there. We were 95% sure we heard it, but it never came into water feature on that chilly and gray day. So I went back on 2/17/25 and got the full treatment. In addition…
After the gull I drove 2 hours north from Amarillo (who knew there were still 2 hours of Texas north of Amarillo?) for the reported Pine Grosbeak — new for my Texas list. Spent about 20 minutes photographing this lovely bird.
An apparent adult Kelp Gull found at Brownsville landfill this morning. Landfill access as below.
Looks like a glaucous winged is in Amarillo (from NA gulls fb page).
I guess I’m getting antsy for High Island!! Thought I’d start posting a few ID reminders and mnemonics that I have to give myself each year. First one is on the 2 big Rails.
Am I prophetic?
