We had an incredible visit with Dr. Ernesto Ruelas Inzunza from the Universidad Veracruzana. His talk, “Neotropical Ornithology: Past, Present, and Way Forward,” highlighted ethical citation practices across disciplines and ornithology in the neotropics. Dr. Inzunza’s class talk was followed by a bird walk at Brackenridge Park, where we spotted Eastern Phoebes, Kingfishers, Caracaras, and much more. Our walk led us to the Japanese Tea Gardens where we continued through rich San Antonio history. The afternoon ended with a sobremesa at a local deli with soups, sandwiches, plática and cafecito. We wish Dr. Inzunza a safe trip home and many more years of (story)birding!
