Birding near Chula Vista

Our birding group went to an area near the town of Chula Vista south of La Peñita about a 20 minute drive.  It was a great spot with a pond, small stream running down the road, pastures, crops and fruiting trees.

We saw Yellow Breasted Chat, Northern Waterthrush, Common Egret, Solitary Sandpiper, Gray Hawk, Rufus Backed Thrush, Nashville Warbler, Golden Cheeked Woodpecker, Wood Stork, Blue Gray Gnat Catcher, Ani, Anhinga, Tropical Kingbird, Lark Sparrow, White Winged Dove, Eurasian Collared Dove, Ground Dove, Inca Dove, Mexican Parrotlet, Vermillion Flycatcher, Blue Grosbeak, Yellow Winged Cacique, Orchard Oriole, and perhaps a Scrub Euphonia but I didn't get a long enough look at it.  Unfortunately, I am not fast enough to photograph them nor is my camera good enough.
