Wow Patti, you cleaned up down south!

I just went south, but I was not birding. I did stop at Goose Island to get the Whooping Cranes and there were some Redheads off the coast. It was the middle of the afternoon, so not much else. Turns out Redheads are already on my list. A little while later a Roadrunner flew out in front of my car. So I got a total of two birds.

168 -- Whooping Cranes
169 -- Greater Roadrunner

I'm including the Redhead pic b/c it's the only good one! The Whooping Crane pic makes you long for clarity. The poor Roadrunner's eye is obscured by barbed wire.
