A common but superb species is Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. You can't miss this bird as it migrates through Texas in Springtime, but what a bird...
I managed to connect with this Swainson's Hawk near Laffitte's Cove, Galveston Island (more later on this superb migrant trap)...
Here's a taster of the quality possible at Laffitte's Cove...

| Black-billed Cuckoo...Scilly one day? |
Footnote: My pal Haydn spent most of the day chasing the Bridled Tern throughout the North-east.
He didn't connect.
His mood wasn't lightened when a "sensitive" chap commented at Saltholme..."I hope it doesn't show up then I've got one up on my mate!"
Extreme restraint was shown...He's a big chap is our Haydn!!
