That historic adobe mansion in McAllen.

And surrounding grounds with nature trails.
Some decorated for the Holidays.
And part of it set up for an outdoor event today.
Fox squirrel.
Black crested titmouse.
Clay-colored thrush.
The clay-colored thrush is a close relative of the American robin, but without the wide distribution. Not commonly found in the U.S., except right here. This is a range map for the thrush.
And one more South Texas specialty, the crimson collared Grosbeak. Not commonly found even here.
I got a quick glimpse of a female that has wandered our way.
One shot and it was gone. A better photo of it would have looked like this.
Males are more dramatic.
But I've never seen one.
