Black-and-White Warbler(Mniotilta varia) |

Description: Having spent the winter here, this warbler will soon leave Texas and head north. Last year the global pandemic prevented me from experiencing the full effects of spring migration in south Texas. This year the gates are open and I’m venturing to South Padre Island about every second day. |

Louisiana Waterthrush(Parkesia motacilla) |
|
Description: In April-2021, when first I saw this waterthrush at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center, I thought it was a Northern Waterthrush, but a review of the images showed it had a clean white throat, pinkish legs, and an eyeline broader at the back than the front. Last year, the global pandemic prevented me from experiencing the full effects of spring migration in south Texas. This year the gates were open, and I ventured to South Padre Island about every second day. |
