Birding in Texas in June = very sweaty

This morning, I headed out to Estero Llano Grande to experience a guided bird seeing tour.  It was 8:30 am in south Texas and the humidity was through the roof.  All the rain we have received in the last week, while good for filling up the wetland area, brought out the mosquitoes in force.  I was trying a new bug repellent that was “green” so it had no DEET. The guide leading the tour had a DEET repellent.  Both worked as well as the other, meaning not really well at all, but mine smelled better.

On the tour we saw about 30 birds, which is less than normal, but it is June and most of the birds are done with their migration.  I also got one Geocache done; however, there was no log so I couldn’t sign.  Here are some of the birds I was able to photograph well enough that I wanted to share.  FYI I’m having to use the check-off list and google to double check the names, so I might be wrong. Enjoy!
