@ Andrew – Too bad it won’t work for this year. I”ll write as much as I can about it to give you a flavor. I see you were tempted by that cheap airfare to Belize on Twitter. There’s plenty of good places in Belize. I once stayed at a great ecolodge in the south near Punta Gorda – had a fantastic experience with about 70 + lifers, a great guide, and (gasp!) got to see the red-capped manakin courtship display. It was so over-the-top good (my first tropical birding experience). Machaca Hill Lodge.
@ Christopher Good to know you’ve been around the “RGV block” a time or two. I know who to go to for birding advice! See you there! And let me know how King Ranch is.

I love birding in the RGV, but this will be the first time we are attending the festival, and I’m really looking forward to meeting and birding with others there. (I’m skipping the big Laguna Atascose and Santa Ana trips as we’re going down a few days early to do them on our own, in order to do some of the more distant locations like King Ranch and further north along the Rio Grande)
The photography workshop sounds great – and I look forward to hearing how much you do get out of it.
Look forward to meeting you there!!!

Sadly, I got around to thinking about this too late and so I have to plan for next year. I really would have liked to go, but too many good trips were already filled. I look forward to your report. Best wishes for an outstanding trip – I hope you get your target birds and many more.
