Howdee all,
Another great day of birding on Padre Island..
We arrived on the island and went directly to Sheepshead Road..
Where I immediately saw a beautiful Life bird….Cerulean Warbler..Jeff was able to get some good looks as well before it flew off…No photo of the purdy birdie, others there were able to see and photograph it.
We saw a good number of birds here..warblers, vireos, Tanagers, Orioles..etc
There are lots of Indigo Buntings around..
At the Convention center we saw
Painted buntings Black and white warbler
Jeff found this Blackburnian warbler…see the orange throat
more throat..I tried but didn't get good photos..
There were lots of cameras on this bird..I think some of the big lenses got some good photos ..
We picked up another life bird at the Convention Center..but no photo..
We were told that across the street from the Convention Center we would see a brown and tan Great Blue Heron..
So off we went..to see this strange Morph..
At the RV park we saw
and another life bird
Tropical Kingbird.
