The top pic shows almost all of the field marks for this stunning bird: black tail including vent area; black hood, wings and back; yellowish orange underparts. It's yellowish orange lower back is not visible.
The bottom pic shows a trailer that was parked in the Bentsen Palm Village RV Park where this bird has been foraging in their coral bean trees. Birders are fortunate that park management was agreeable to allowing access to view the bird with reasonable limitations. For those not familiar with the
Bentsen Palm Village RV Park, it is located only a few hundred feet from Bentsen State Park, one of the true birding hotspots in the very birdy Rio Grande Valley. Not only were Park management accommodating to birders but the rv'ers staying in this beautiful park were very friendly and helpful. Any birders planning to take their RV to the Rio Grande Valley might want to check out the website for this first rate RV park. SeEtta
