Laredo, Texas. Strange for a state park. It’s right in the middle of the city. Nice enough though. Big lake. Big campground.
White-collared seedeaters are the primary reason we’re here. Had a little trouble finding the seedeater spot in Laredo. Didn’t even get there until 5pm. It’s right along Zacate Creek, where it meets the Rio Grande. Not in a neighborhood anyone would expect to be birding. In fact we found the spot early on, couldn’t believe that was really the place and didn’t even get out of the car. Met a border patrol guy later on, described where we were, and he confirmed, yes that is the place for the bird.
We went back. Didn’t get the bird today. He was probably already asleep. We’ll try again tomorrow morning.
