"Tecoma angustifolia is the yellow flower, and fruits are probably papeda's (Citrus hystrix) or unripe Pomelo (Citrus grandis)" From Yero R. Kuethe. (Thanks!)
Texas - entire journey logged 7500 miles on my SUV from Florida to the top of Sequoia National Forest and back. But the main interest was to get the Colima to finish off getting all of the lower 48 warblers off my life list. It was a ten mile hike we endured but started seeing Colima's at two and a half miles up. We saw a dozen in total and heard several more on our way up and back. We slept in the vehicle at the base of the mountain since no rooms were available anywhere near Big Bend National Park. But had a great pork-chop dinner at the lodge in Big Bend that Carl won't forget about. Nor will I.
[Texas Hotspot: Chisos Mtns, Big Bend NP, TX] The Colima Warbler is our most inaccessible warbler; requiring an exhausting, day-long hike up the Chisos Mountains where fewer than 200 pairs nest. It is not found anywhere else in the US. Because of its inaccessibility, it is also our least studied warbler with its nest discovered as recently as 1932. This species is uncommon but regular at this hotspot and best seen from April through August.
[Description: The Chisos Mountains offer the most unique birding opportunities at Big Bend National Park. The park itself is found at the border with Mexico in Southwest Texas with the closest major city being El Paso.]
This photo is out of sequence. It should be next to the lady walking in front of the wall. It is not as sharp as it could be because it was taken from a moving, lurching bus.
