Masked Duck at Sabal Palm Sanctuary, 5/4/11

This past week a female Masked Duck has been hanging out at the resaca at Sabal Palm Sanctuary in Brownsville so I made a run down there to see it. I was definitely not disappointed.

I am so fine!

Although I've seen lots of super rare birds in the RGV, I've seen very few of the Valley's herp specialties. After 18 years, today I finally saw my first Speckled Racer. Actually there were two of them. Apparently they are fairly common at Sabal Palm but they've avoided me before today.

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.
