...so that's your photo documentation for Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris) for Marathon, TX - first known record outside of Big Bend National Park! All photos in this post are by Matthew York, with apologies for not discovering that the camera was set to 2 megapixels instead of the 10 it was supposed to be! Sure beats that first photo, though!
Oh, wow, you made my day! Thanks! I may have to make another trip to Marathon looking for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this great sighting. I will be in Big Bend next month and hope the Ani will still be hanging around.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, we'll swap you that Costa's south of you for the Ani ;-) On second thought, I should just refill our feeder and wait...
