South Padre Island, 4/16/10

Well there was a Bobolink found at the convention center at South Padre Island yesterday afternoon but I didn't find out about it till afternoon today. So I raced out to SPI but as it turned out no one had seen it today. Well, actually the photographers there (who outnumbered the birders) acted like they didn't know what I was talking about. I don't think they would know a Bobolink from a Humperdink. But I got a good pic of a Blackpoll Warbler so that was okay.

And then I was really happy to find this Prairie Warbler on the Campeche lot. We don't get to many of them down here.

This Tennessee Wabler and Northern Parula were taking turns at the same orange.

Beautiful photos! I wonder if the photographers found a Humperdink, if they would admit to it?
