Another nice surprise in the Winter of the Mexican Rarity in south Texas, this golden-crowned warbler was discovered on January 9th at the Los Ebanos Preserve in San Benito.  There it remained up to and beyond January 16, when I was able to obtain this photograph.  Like other golden-crowned warblers that have occurred in Texas, this one was remarkably tame, often approaching observers to within two or three feet!  It moved very actively all around the preserve, but a little patience generally yielded most observers some outstanding views within a half-hour or so of searching.
