Amazon Kingfisher

Texas is awesome. I need to go there or better yet live there. They have an Amzon Kingfisher down there right now! What about Bare-throated Tiger Heron? Maybe a Roadside Hawk? Maybe instead of Cape May every year we should go to TX every year?

Roadside Hawks are pretty darn cool. They figured out were were banding and that Clay-colored Robins would just "hang in mid-air" when we were in TX/MX and we banded several trying to pick prey from the nets. TX is awesome. Nice photo of the kingfisher too!

know a guy that lives down there and traps raptors like a mad man all year down there (although much different style than at Cape May). Lots to see down there. I thought hook-billed kite was cool...amazon kingfisher? are you kidding me? another kingfisher on the already-cool list of 3 regulars?! a fellow-employee that lives down there has found it already too...jealous! bws
