Sabal Palm Sanctuary, 2/25/07

Honey and I went to Sabal Palm Sanctuary south of Brownsville today looking for the Gray-crowned Yellowthroats and Zone-tailed Hawk. We struck out on both but still had a pleasant day.

Frontera Audubon Thicket, 2/24/07

Warm and windy at Frontera Audubon Thicket in Weslaco this morning. I finally refound what I think is the same juvenile plumaged male American Redstart that I last saw in Dec. Two Ovenbirds were by the feeder and another was along the south fence by the redstart. The Northern Waterthrush was in the east ditch. There wasn't much to photgraph today.
