Resaca de las Palmas, 9-12-10

My goal this morning was to find some good dragonflies at Resaca de las Palmas State Park. However, I couldn't find much which was OK because there were lots of migrant birds around. This Yellow Throated Vireo was near the parking area.



I also had the previously seen Yellow-green Vireo singing at Hunters Crossing but couldn't find it though it was right over my head. I also had several Red-eyed Vireos including this yellow-vented youngster,



My first fall Swallow-tailed Kite in the RGV was a surprise.



Thirteen species of warblers included Prothonotay,



perky Ovenbirds,



and Northern Waterthrush.
