Somehow this story starts in Washington DC of all places. Over the summer my brothers and I went to DC, after having a flight cancellation and still landing in Indy earlier than our original flight would have landed, the airline gave us free flights. Originally, I looked at all the places the airline flew, so Jamaica became the destination of choice but that fell through. At least the lower Rio Grande Valley is a nice consolation. So we will be heading to Texas with our friend, Chad, on January 1st. Some of the rare birds around right now include Golden-crowned Warbler, Black-vented Oriole, Brown Jay, Crimson-collared Grosbeak, and Rose-throated Becard. And of course there are always plenty of chachalacas, Buff-bellied Hummingbirds, Green Jays, and Great Kiskadees to watch.

Looks like a great place to go and bird. Love the roadrunner and the green jay. Both birds are on my list of birds to see. Merry Christmas!
