Greater Pewee in Mcallen, 11/27/10

The interesting Fall continues with a Greater Pewee found in McAllen yesterday by visiting top notch birder Cin-Ty Lee. I'm ashamed to say that this morning was my first visit to the cemetary but I'll be going back. Except for the headstones, wandering under the large trees with lots of warblers around is reminiscent of Anzalduas. Greater Pewee is native to the mountains of Mexico extending up into SE Arizona and have nested in the Davis Mountains of west Texas. I've seen Greater Pewee in Texas a couple of times previously but it's still a great year bird.





Lots of warblers around, mostly Yellow-rumps but there were a few Pines and a Yellow-throated.





This Summer Tanager may stay for the winter.
