Our first full day in the Rio Grande Valley, after setting up the ZEISS booth at the Municipal Auditorium, my colleague and I did a quick run out to Estero Llano Grande World Birding Center. It was a deeply overcast day, but there were birds about. This Golden-fronted was just off the deck at the Visitor Center. Everything is more colorful in the Valley. Even the woodpeckers!
