Birded for two hours at Frontera on a beautiful spring morning. Willows are leafing out and huisaches are blooming. Nothing exciting but I found Tropical Kingbird there for the first time. Below are pics of the new boardwalk undersconstruction.

Listers, Come out of the closet!

I have a problem. I am a lister. There. I said it. I'm not ashamed of it. There's lots of birders out there who look down their noses at listers. But I bet they have lists too. They list in the privacy of their homes. Maybe behind the locked door of the bathroom. Come on listers. Come out of the closet (or the bathroom)! Oh I know what they say about listing. You go blind or hair grows on the palms of your hands. But it's not true. In fact listing is good for you. So make your lists and don't feel guilty about it.
