Folks,

The weather at South Padre Island 9-16 April was somewhat similar, though a 
cold front on 15 April increased neo-tropical densities on Padre and in 
surrounding areas.  Still, the relative paucity of neo-tropicals was 
noticable, with 4 vireo species and 15 warbler species (not counting the 
Golden-cheeks nr San Antonio) noted yet many Franklin's Gulls, Indigos, 
Rose-breasted Grossbeaks, Orioles, and sparrows were about.  I was mainly 
pleased with finding several of the Rio Grande Valley specialties I desired 
and I managed 215 species for the week in the valley and 235 for the trip 
(many thanks to Marshall for taking me along on a dry run for the Classic, 
esp. for the Clay-colored on nest).  Also, it was a pleasure to meet and 
converse with Father Tom.  All-in-all a good vacation.

Kurt
