Observation details
Continuing since November 11, 2021! 4th US record! In the top of the small trees right around the bookstore. Eventually worked its way over toward the edge of the southern resaca but soon returned to the bookstore area, and then flew N out of view. Very vocal today! The smoother, squeal calls plus the lack of buffy wingbars confirm the more Northern 'Vermilion-crowned' ssp; the Southern ssp has a trilled call and buffy wingbars. Initially discovered on the morning of November 11, 2021 by RGV Birding Festival fieldtrip group being led by Nathan Pieplow. All previous US records have come from the Rio Grande Valley with a specimen record from Feb 15, 1885, a sight record from Anzalduas Park Mar 17-Apr 5, 1990, and a well-documented record from Jan 7-14, 2005 at Bentsen State Park.
