Location Window Trail, Big Bend National Park, TX
The Chisos Mountain range in Big Bend NP is the only place to see this bird in North America.
There were plenty of great birds that we hoped to get on this trip -- and we did get many of them -- but this was the target bird for me, and this was the one opportunity to get it. Not only would I probably never be back to Big Bend, but I probably would never get back to the Chisos Mountains on this trip.
We got it.
We actually ended up seeing and hearing at least two. The first one gifted us with a very good view on an exposed branch, singing. The white eye ring and yellow-orange undertail were visible, and the song fit perfectly.
