Early spring birding fever has hit, and I am out looking for early migrants. The state-breeding migrants are just starting to show, and I get to spend some time at one of my favorite spots shooting Louisiana Waterthrush.

From Yellow-headed Caracara to Mottled Owl, it does not sound much like a trip to Texas. A summary of the second half my birding trip to the Rio Grande Valley, which included a last-minute trip to Galveston.

A fast-paced trip to Texas and into the Rio Grande Valley for some birding; including a last-minute drive to Houston. This trip focuses on filling some holes in my ABA checklist with my main targets being Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo.
