Road Trip!! One area of the US I've always wanted to bird was far southern Texas along the Rio Grande. Many species I haven't seen before that just reach into the US in that area, and the trip in October 2026 certainly didn't disappoint. And how could Green Jays NOT be one of your favorite species from such a trip? Such incredibly stunning birds with an amazing array of colors. This photo was taken on October 11th, 2026 at Resaca de la Palma State Park near Brownsville, Texas.
