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.

Here’s the “you are there” video!!
Spent about 4 hours on morning of November 9 staking out Santa Elena canyon overlook with a buddy and some pleasant fellow birders trying to see nutting’s flycatcher. Had to settle for heard only but we heard it about 10 times and have no doubts.
Took me about 45 seconds this morning to get this long staying Limpkin at Brazos Bend SP. New for my Texas list. . With escargot!!!
