| 1/6/19 to 1/13/19 Texas and Arizona: We decided to start the new year off right with catching some life birds! On the spur of the moment, we took off to the Rio Grande, TX, taking in Bentson-Rio Grande Valley State Park, National Butterfly Center, Frontera Audubon Society Reserve, Santa Ana NWR, and Estero Llano Grande State Park wetlands. Goal birds were the Hook-billed Kite and the Golden-crowned Warbler - success! Then it was on to Madera Canyon, AZ and environs for the newly recorded White-throated Thrush. We were also looking for and found the Rufous-capped Warbler and Lewis's Woodpecker! On the way back, we stopped quickly to see the Rufous-backed Robin being seen outside San Antonio - yes, but horrible pics. We saw so many other unfamiliar birds and beautiful scenery such as the stop at Whitewater Draw Wildlife Refuge near Wilcox, AZ where we witnessed thousands of Sandhill Cranes descending from the sky to roost. It was an awesome trip! Click on NEXT PAGE below to go back in time. More pics coming. |
