TEXAS - 20th February


Only a half day today to re-charge my batteries; it wasn’t a very productive morning as although it was a fine sunny day it was blowing a gale (force 6-7 southerly wind) making things a bit difficult, I spent the morning at Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park where the only new birds were a couple of active and very noisy BLACK PHOEBES near the centre and two brief but good views of brilliant GREATER ROADRUNNERS as they crossed the road and ran off like bullets into the bush!

                There wasn’t too much else in the very windy conditions with the usual birds around the feeding stations including the most Green Jays I’ve seen so far along with Altamira Orioles, White-tipped Doves, Plain Chachalacas, Great Kiskadees etc. the trails were hard work where I hardly saw anything!
