LRGV Day 4 pics

Santa Ana was great, but no target species like Hook-billed Kite and Gray Hawk; truly a disaster! Should've stayed there, stationary at the hawk watch tower, but foolishly decided to bird Laguna Atascosa and try again to find that Aplomado Falcon spot; big mistake!

White tailed Hawk on the way to Laguna Atascosa, horrible weather, raining and wind; Santa Ana was mild compared to this lol

Bayside Dr was closed to car, so absolute crap birding there. Did spot an Ocelot crossing the street, but just a brief view. So all in all wasted like half a day or more wandering around LRGV, lost, etc.

 Laguna Atascosa Osprey Overlook! Epic fail

Failed to bird another spot for Audubon's Oriole, fitting end to a terrible birding.
And Frontier flight got canceled due to mechanical problem lol.
But thanks to it used a coupon, coupled with 75% sale, birding Philly late April(by bus)

Misfortune continued at Estero Llano Grande; due to being hard to hearing, missed all target species like Bronzed Cowbird, Gray Hawk and Cave Swallow, while everybody else spotted it; the reason why I absolutely HATE group birding. We missed Eastern-Screech Owl as well, the other group found it lol. I guess spotting Common Pauraque was a consolation; NO way a color blind like me could spot it on my own. We did find Summer Tanager at the end of birding.
And big thank you to Connie Unsicker for chatting with me!

We did find GHOW.

Thanks to Connie, decided to bird Edinburgh WBC and that was a slam dunk; spotted all 3 Kingfishers, albeit far away. The lake was big. Great spot for Blue-headed Vireo as well.
