Sharing: Some Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival Lifer Photos

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

For those interested ... fantastic birding down there (six days)--saw/heard 161 species and grabbed 41 life birds to boot. Convention total was about 277 species last I heard. Some lifer photos here-still have to name them.

Thank you for sharing these photos! I am planning a roadtrip down there in about a month. Many of the several lifers I plan to get to quite common. Green Jays, Long-billed Thrasher, Black-crested Titmouse, Plain Chachalaca, Least Grebe, Buff-breasted Hummingbirds, Altamira Oriole, Ringed and Green Kingfisher, etc. However, some seem quite hard to find. Where did you guys see Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls and the Tropical Parula?

Hi Ben

Your lifer list can be found at the 9 (I believe 9) World Birding Centers-some fairly easy. King Ranch is home of the owl population. Tropical Parula seen in multiple tour outings--found ours on personal outing at Harlingen Lake (east side in trees and across the street in art park)-also Yellow-throated and Tennessee.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
