Spent monday and tuesday on a quick trip hoping for Gray Gull in the Rio Grande Valley. Didn’t find that gull, but always wanted to visit the famous City of Brownsville Dump !!!! Quite a sight!!!
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…
Am I prophetic?
Was able to see this lifer reported at Hooks woods on recent trip to High Island. Not many lifer left for me on our annual High Island trip.
Bat Falcon — That’s him on top of the telephone pole just left of the water tower. Got him after about 15 micro-seconds of very dedicated and difficult searching. We saw the Social Flycatcher too, but all my pix (from the scrum) were of Kiss-Katies.
There’s a nice discussion of Pacific vs American Golden Plover on the “Advanced Bird ID” FB page. You’ll have to join that group to see the rest of post.
