South Texas Trip ~ January 15-16, 2005

January 15, 2005

On the 15th, another unseasonably cold day, we spent the entire day unsuccessfully looking for the Blue Bunting that was being seen along the Las Palmas Trail in Laredo.

On the 16th, we met Martin Reid who took us into a private ranch near Pearsall to look for the Rufous-capped Warbler. Thanks to his friends, Willie Sekula and Derrick Muschalek, we got to see the bird within minutes of getting out of the car. We then drove back down to Laredo to once again try for the bunting. Within an hour of sunset, we finally got to see the male Blue Bunting feeding on grass seeds.
