The Rio Grande Valley Limpkin invasion continues!� Estero Llano Grande State Park has had as many a three in the flood channel.� A first Starr County record was found a couple of days ago at Santa Margarita Ranch as birders tried to relocate the Bare-throated Tiger-Heron.� And today Michael Marsden found a Limpkin in a drainage canal south of San Benito at a spot know as Cantu Corner.� The bird was reported to have flown out of view around the corner and as the banks bordering the canal are private property, I decided to wait and see if the bird was refound.� Well it was refound by Alex Lamoreax and his tour group a little bit later.
So I drove over along with the Indiana Gang butterfly group who were visiting my yard.� We searched for a while and were not having any luck.� Then Isidro Montemayor from Brownsville drove up and almost immediately found the Limpkin.� It was really burried in the cattails but eventually wandered into the open for good photos.
This is the 429th bird species I've seen in Cameron County, TX.� And the Roadside Hawk that I've dipped on twice is still waiting at Resaca de la Palma.
