Today I wanted to get back and bird the tropical forest area at Estero Llano Grande. The last time I did this was after my broken leg and it was brutal. Today there were no rare birds but it was fun. Tropical forest birds fed at the many oranges and peanut butter feeding stations.
Plain Chachalaca
Great Kiskadee
Golden-fronted Woodpecker
Long-billed Thrasher
I managed to find a sleeping Paraque in the woods.
Waterbirds were also in evidence and I did manage to find a very few dragonflies. The butterflies are incredible and I need to learn them. This Mexican Bluewing is a stunner even though my photography skills were lacking.
Sora
Common Gallinule
To end a great day I managed to find the staging area for Green Parakeets heading into their nighttime roost - the local K-Mart parking lot. What noise!
