Default Texas birds

I just got back from a 10 day bird-watching and wildflower trip to south Texas. Thought I would share some of the birds I saw.

Some interesting species, I like the heron and the fella with the blue head. Any idea what they are?

Thanks for sharing.

Todd, where were you in Texas. I have a thought where, but wanted your answer first. I'm betting along the Rio Grand.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I birded from Aransas (Whooping Cranes) to Brownsville then up to San Ygnacio. Great trip! As for wildflowers, I have soooo many....I'll have to be selective! Stay tuned!
