South Texas Day One

49 species

Arrived at McAllen airport around 3:18pm. By 3:54pm, we'd shown Dolores her first life bird (Great-tailed grackle) while on the way to the Best Western in Harlingen. We stopped there only briefly, then ran down to Laguna Atascosa NWR for picnic supper and birding. It was really wonderful to see so many of the highlight birds right away on the first day.

Mammals: mexican ground squirrel, collared peccary.
