Frontera Audubon Thicket, 10/13/07

Birding has been pretty boring in the Rio Grande Valley the past few weeks so it's been a while since the blog has been updated. We're still waiting on our first cool front of the fall. A little dry air drifted in from the west bringing the morning low down to the upper 60's. Coolest it's been since spring. Warblers have been low in numbers compared to the past few fall seasons. Best bird today was this Clay-colored Robin. They tend to spend more time at the neighbor's place to the south.



Here's a couple of bugs.
