Crimson-collared Grosbeak at Quinta Mazatlan

The amazing onslaught of rarities continues in south Texas. A couple of days ago a male Crimson-collared Grosbeak was found in McAllen at the Quinta Mazatlan branch of the World Birding Center. This morning I was able to find the bird feeding on Coyotillo berries and get a couple of photos before it was chased away by a mockingbird.





Quita Mazatlan also has its own Tropical Parula feeding on citrus, much like the one at Frontera.
