Virginia and I went to Granger and saw this little guy (previously reported)

Here’s the target of my trip to Galveston — Yellow headed Cara Cara. Like the Kelp Gull he’s up from South America.
See Texas Pelagics fb page if interested
Also took me about 30 seconds to add this Brown Booby in Aggieland a couple of weeks ago to my Texas list. Only bird on the lake. Same trip as the Limpkin, I was on a roll!!! 60 seconds of birding and added 2.
With North wind coming on I decided to go watch for migrants at Granger Lake. I was not disappointed!!
I had a great time on the 29th communing with a visiting celebrity in Corpus Christi!! If you haven’t heard, this is a Kelp Gull born about 1 year ago in the southern hemisphere (South America most likely). Very impressive bill (compared to Herring in pic).
Anybody else see this cool local visitor?
