Crimson-collared Grosbeak
Rhodothraupis celaeno

Family | Cardinals, Grosbeaks and Buntings |
---|
Native to only a limited area of northeastern Mexico, this strikingly patterned grosbeak has wandered into southern Texas several times. It tends to stay low in dense cover, where it is often difficult to observe. The first Texas record was of a singing male in mid-summer, but subsequent reports have been in winter.
