According to Greg Lavaty these birds will breed in this area during the Summer, but any birds of this type seen right now are just migrating through.

If you really want to see some awesome bird pictures, especially of those found in Texas, you can visit his website here.

This was the first time I’ve ever seen this bird, in my backyard or otherwise.
