Brian Morin: I ran into the same issue earlier in the week with Short-eared Owls, right down to the last rays of sunlight. You did well.
Chris: I’ve noticed the sun out here seems different than in the east. More “blinding” and I tend to get burned more easily. Have yet to pinpoint what it causing this difference

For a brief moment a Cassin's Sparrow came out of the field. Unfortunately I couldn't get any decent photos, however the dark "anchors" are visible on the upperparts, as well as the faint eye ring. La Joya, Texas.

Brian Morin: Nice to be able to pick up some specialties on your trip.
Chris: As birdwatching evolves, I now often go out just with the camera and no binoculars. Partly for weight, but also I found I was using the camera most of the time. I have a bunch of “record” shots including a poor Crimson-collared Grosbeak, that if any field marks are visible I’ll attempt to upload. The sorting from earlier this year isn’t complete though 🫣
