And much, much more !

OK, so I admit I was in southern Texas.  Missed some expected stuff cause the winds blew 20 knots all week, but got most of what I was after, including some real real finds.  Hope the folks going to Harlingen do better, since the winds were tapering off when we left.

If anybody is heading south let me know and I'll provide locations for some of these birds.

Now, back to Maryland !  Bring on the warblies !!
