Jacanas and Harriers!

Texas LRGV Rare Bird Alert 27th October
 
A juvenile NORTHERN JACANA was photographed on October 12 and continued to October 25  at Santa Ana NWR.  The original bird has been at several of the Pintail Lakes ponds.  An apparent second juvenile - different in minor plumage markings - was at Willow Lake from the blind on October 25 and TODAY, October 27.  Please continue to report the presence of these birds and document them to the TBRC! 
 
Missed this species earlier this year by a day...it was March! An ABA Lifer. Looking promising for this year's visit? I've said it now...
 
Sneaked a couple of prime raptors late afternoon along the Humber Bank...
 
 
 
 
You can just catch the ring-tails on this particularly poor image!
 
Hen Harrier...
