Remember the Rack Monster?

 

Go on a trip in an RV and the Rack Monster(Sleep Monster) strikes.  Fall asleep early and wake up late.  I’m here to report that the Rack Monster lives!  Eleven hours last night.

 

Home by 1.  Got a text from Jon that a blue bunting had been spotted at Quinta Mazatlan in McAllen.  The bus was emptied and put away, and we were looking for the bird by 3.  A swing and a miss however.

 

CPE remaining:  0

Birds remaining:  still 1.

 

The year is not over though.  One more day remains.  The Tropical Parula is still around at Bentsen and Estero.  We leave tomorrow morning at 6am to start the day looking for a White-collared Seedeater on the trail along the river at Salineno.  If we don’t get that bird in the first couple hours after dawn, we can still make it to the other two places for one more try at the Parula.

 

I added these additional places to the map.
