One thing I’ve learned birding south Texas this spring is that birds are extremely fond of oranges, including birds you just wouldn’t expect to be into citrus (like the Swainson’s Thrush above). So without further delay, here is just a sample from South Padre Island, Texas. Prothonotory Warbler. Red-headed Woodpecker.

We have escaped the clutches of the Bahamas, and are finally back “home” in Tucson, Texas. We also got an extra stop in Dallas, Texas (Hey wasn’t I just here) but again no birds could be added, unless I count the House Sparrow flying around inside the terminal.

After our brief trip thru the great state of Texas, we were headed back into New Mexico, a state I was quite excited to explore. The birds were right next to an old abandoned farm house, and seemed quite happy to have their photo taken, up to a point, but then like the wind, they were gone, out thru the flat desert areas of New Mexico!
