We went over to Quinta Mazatlan at McAllen this morning to see if we could get looks at the Blue Bunting which has been sighted there. Not a life bird for us, but still quite rare. It is a first year male, not completely blue yet, but apparently getting bluer as the season goes on. As we were paying a entry fee at the front desk we bumped into friends who had already seen it. They directed us to the seed feeder where they had sighted it. The feeder was at a distance so the photo is cropped quite a bit. Maybe next time I can get a little closer. There is always a next time.
We paid the Quinta daily fee and looked for the bird for about half an hour. The bird showed up, we took some photos, the bird left, it started to rain. We left. A rare bird - it took about an hour, parking lot to parking lot.
