Here is the list of the 157 species I saw or heard on my South Texas trip in March 2005. This includes 152 countable birds in Texas, 1 countable bird seen only in Mexico (Gray Hawk), 3 non-countable exotics (Muscovy Duck, Budgie, Lilac-crowned Parrot), and one heard-only ABA bird (Roadside Hawk, which I'm not counting on my list). You can also read an account of the trip. Species are listed in AOU order, according to the 45th supplement (2004). An asterisk indicates a new ABA bird while 2 asterisks indicate a life bird. Birds not counted in my trip total are marked in parentheses.
