Pine Grosbeak Panhandle
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.

We happened to be in Corpus over the weekend so stopped in to see this Brown Noddy that had been hanging around. Sadly he was taken in for rehab just after we saw, but later died.
Here’s a few more pix from Kelp chase. Anyone is welcome to ID.
Rather than work on Empid presentations, I chased the Garganey today. Here’s my proof of purchase seal.
