Brian Morin: Perfect tree to contrast the bird.
Chris: Yes in the 100F weather, it was a treat to get in that setting. I had to wait for the lens to unfog that morning

Another lifer - and just as we were about to wrap up with not many birds around, 3 Groove-billed Anis flew in calling away and enjoying the breeze in the high heat and humidity. Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR, La Puerta Tract.

Stratford - Saved me a trip to southern Texas at best or maybe even into the tropics. This anomaly is not a first for the province but is still exceptionally rare. The bird was very approachable but that wasn't necessary because at times it would head towards us as it busily probed the grass in a horse pasture for insects. Before I arrived it had been walking around the feet of observers.

BrianMorin: This had to be a one-day excursion so a very long day but well worth the trip.
