LRGV Hit List


Which ones do we get first??
Current ABA list list: 561
Last one seen: Common Redpoll, 12/28/2014

I will be visiting south Texas for the next week and get to relax, eat some cheese, catch some rays and of course see some #lifebirds.  #Bigyear2015 begins


Lifers needed:
  • Red-Crowned Parrot, code 2, easiest to get
  • Alpomado Falcon, code 3, second time a charm?
  • Tropical Parula, code 3, got two good places,
  • Prairie falcon, code 1, recent sightings in a small area
  • White-Throated Thrush, code 4, very hard to get but at Estero Llano Grande
  • Snowy Plover, code 1, just reported at a place I know
  • Brownsville Dump--reported/pictured Thayers/Slaty-Backed Gulls, I'm not your gull man

Year Birds:
 Tons of them down there, since I only have 30-40 Ohio/NJ birds for the year, I'm basiclly going to start in Texas at ZERO, then after the trip add up my balance.

Goals:
130 birds for the trip
4 life birds

Next up:  The star are bright . . . to late at night . . . deep in the heart of TEXAS!!
