Some of you get lucky with Pileateds at your feeders. Never had such luck myself but enjoy hearing your tales.

LOL Patti, you're right about being in the Gulf of Mexico. Actually, I bet as soon as I buy a place on the coast, a hurricane will sweep it all out into the gulf! Nice catch on the B&W.

Nice ones Resin.

Was able to join a friend who was heading south to see the Flammulated Owl and the Crimson-collared Grosbeak. Got those and some other new birds.

191 -- Harris' Hawk
192 -- Green Jay
193 -- Reddish Egret (pic 1)
194 -- Green Heron
195 -- Sora (pictured -- It shared one soft note just as I clicked)
196 -- American Golden Plover
197 -- Tropical Kingbird
198 -- Flammulated Owl
199 -- Golden-fronted Woodpecker
200 -- Plain Chachalaca

Also saw some really cool but not countable parrots with the huge flock of Red-crowned Parrots that included Red-lored Parrots, White-fronted Parrots and one Yellow-headed Parrot.

Just clicked preview and shows my pics in a different order than I attached them. It looks like Reddish Egret, Red-crowned Parrots, Sora, Grosbeak and then Pauraque.
