Pyrrhuloxia. South Padre Island (Convention Center), 3/30/2005. These birds look like a female cardinal on Rogaine -- note the higher crest than a cardinal. They don't range north of the Rio Grande Valley. This was the only one we saw on our trip, and unfortunately it wouldn't show me more than its backside before taking off. * 800 x 600 * (433KB)

Painted Bunting (immature). Goose Island State Park, 4/1/2005. Too bad we didn't see the adult male of the species -- vermilion front, bright blue head, green back/shoulders and black wings! * 800 x 600 * (527KB)

Olive Sparrow. Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, 3/28/2005. This fellow was chattering away in the bushes like a wren (in fact we mistook it for a wren until one of the park rangers informed us otherwise). A little later it hopped right up to us, to the point that the camera was having trouble focussing on it -- I had to step back! This bird is rather specific to the southern tip of Texas, southward into Mexico. * 600 x 600 * (299KB)
