After the Texas Library Association Conference I talked about in Part 1 it was time for some bird-finding. Texas has one of the biggest bird lists in the country, and my friend Brendan and I had five whole days to check it out. I've birded southern Texas a bunch of times but Brendan had never been, so much of our trip was spent pursuing lifers for him. There were a couple of new ABA birds I could get, but that wasn't really the focus. We left Houston before dawn on March 31 and picked down the Gulf coast, then across to the Rio Grande and Lower Rio Grande Valley for a few days, then up to Hill Country and back to Houston. In total we saw 206 species, a pretty damn good number for a few days in a single state. Here's the trip report if you're interested. I don't have time to go into a whole narrative! Sorry to the zero people who would read it! But I do like doing Top 5 lists on this internet website, so lemme do some of those.Top Five Best Birds5. Stilt SandpiperNo no I know it's not…
