This male Northern Parula has been seen several times over the last couple of weeks.
Bentsen is one of the best places in the Valley for Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet.
Ten or more years ago there was a smudgy faced yellowish oriole at Bentsen that was assumed to be a hybrid of Altimira and Audubon's Oriole. It was lovingly referred to as "Smudge". Since then there has alway been a smudgy oriole around except now they're oranger than the oringinal. This is "Son of Son of Smudge" (at least).
I need to start myself a butterfly list. I saw two new ones this morning. This is my first (north of Mexico) Pavon Emperor.
I don't really care to look at grass skippers too much as they hardly qualify as butterflies. But some of the spread-wing skippers are pretty cool. This is my first White-patched Skipper.
