Ken Brown and Bruce LaBar joined me in McAllen, TX for a 9-day birding adventure, and headed back home yesterday. We had a great time, saw lots of birds, places and stuff, and overall rocked the valley. You can follow my birding notes most days on the Ed’s Birding Notes tab on the Bird Banter website. The guys were also gracious enough to record a podcast episode after our last full day of birding, and it is now published as episode #46 and you can listen where ever you get your podcast feeds, or on the Bird Banter website where there are links to Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Spotify feeds, or you can just listen right there.
Stay tuned, as today I met with Ryan Rodriguez, a 12-year old birder from McAllen and his Dad to record an episode. I had a blast meeting him, hope to get out birding with him while I’m here and plan on publishing that episode later this week.

You can find photos from this trip on my flickr album.

A bit over a week until the ABC contingent descends on the valley to see the specialty here and have fun birding together.

Good birding. Good day!
