We may have been arguing and at each other's throats at the time and perhaps you forgot. But yes, we saw him there. And yes, I forgot about how many "aplomado" calls we made after that -- sigh.

'cause I didn't remember seeing them down in the Valley but rather only around campbellton/falfurrias - am I getting old? did we see they on the "aplomado-NOT! trail? signed confused marymgstarboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870286015146334789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-28662875770737020042011-03-31T21:45:10.872-04:002011-03-31T21:45:10.872-04:00John, we never even saw anything that looked like ...John, we never even saw anything that looked like a manmade structure of any sort.

Since I do a good bit of coastal birding, there are a lot of long distances involved, and sometimes the bird I want is far from the road or trail.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00163297234733313179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-59293619105354146262011-03-31T13:10:39.119-04:002011-03-31T13:10:39.119-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
