The nasty Texas weather continues for a few more days but the forecast is good. 

We took the van out today, in 34 degree/misty weather to check out Anzalduas Park, a favorite local birding site. Here are a few photos from the van:

House Finches are supposedly rare here but these apparently didn’t get the memo.

Vermillion Flycatchers are delightful to watch was they forage and return to their starting point.

This Fox Squirrel was fun to watch on a rainy day.

Other encounters were a Cooper’s Hawk, dozen of Scaup and Coots, 15 Killdeer, some meadowlarks, and Least and Pied-Billed Grebes. And we stayed warm with the heater blasting.
