Checklist Comments

At 14:30 we arrived at the Salineño feeding station on the Rio Grande. Within minutes, an Audubon's Oriole was feeding. The secretive nature of this beautiful black-hooded icterid was apparent, as it made only a brief appearance. Audubon's Oriole was one of 31 species we noted at Salineño. We explored two habitats: the riparian environment around the river and the brush country across from the cemetery. The Geigers suggested we bird near the cemetery, and the area was indeed productive, yielding a pair of Cactus Wren, a Pyrrhuloxia, a Harris's Hawk, and a Crested Caracara. At the feeding station, we enjoyed our first views of Verdin and noted previously seen species such as Hooded Oriole, Green Jay, Great Kiskadee, Black-crested Titmouse, Long-billed Thrasher, and Olive Sparrow.
