Texas, we haven't actually met in person but soon that is about to change. I must admit my opinion of you hasn't ever really been very high but I have a good feeling about this. From what I've heard you're going to treat me right come November when I attend the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival. I feel sorta like we're being set up a on a blind date. I've seen the pictures of what you have to offer and now it's a matter of counting down the days until we officially become acquainted. Of course I'm jumping right in and planning not just a short rendevous but a five day stay. I hope you don't mind but that's kinda how I roll. Until November I'm just going to remind myself that the air plane hassles and financial costs are going to be so outweighed by your gracious offerings such as the possibility of racking up some great life brids and visiting a totally new place with a trip to Mexico thrown in.
Here are a few birds that I have my eye on: White-collared Seedeater, Green Jay, Plain Chachalaca, and Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl and the list goes on and on and on. There's about 70 total birds that are seen at the festival that would be firsts for me. I don't think Texas is going to give all them up to me this first time but I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a long date. If you have some vacation days and want to do something fun this November join me for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival. We can make it a double date and trust me, Texas has enough to offer all of us.
