Texas trip - Estero Llano Grande State Park - 20 March

This small park is an absolute beautywith a wide variety of habitats and excellent birds. I only spent an afternoon there, but managed to find a lot of great things including a roosting Common Pauraque along one of the trails, with a Curve-billed Thrasher nearby. The main pond had White-faced Ibis along with Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, Roseate Spoonbill and White Ibis. The hummingbird feeders attracted a Buff-bellied Hummingbird.

Common Pauraque. This roost site has had one of these birds (the same individual?) for many years, and finding this was a matter of accurate map-reading. Nonetheless it's a spectacular creature
