Birding at Estero Llano Grande State Park

We finally had a nice today so we went birding. This park is not very far from our park and the Elegant Trojan is in the park and we wanted to try and get a picture of her as she is a rarity. The winds must have blown her off course because she doesn't have a mate here. She has spent a long lonely winter at Estero Llano. 

We didn't find her today though, darn it.
