Mr Botteri
Eric and I made a little side trip to the Rio Grande Valley to get the most common bird neither of us had on our life lists for Texas.
Anyone want to ID Mr Scruffy here?

Success!! Exactly As dreamed!!
Forgot the sparrows!!! Here’s a few more to ID, including 1 pretty good bird for eastern Will Co.
This is for last year, but I wanted to bring your attention to an interesting website (of which you may already be aware). http://www.jeaniron.ca/2019/wff19.htm Keep your eyes open for 20/21 prediction. JeP PS I’m in the process of querying my mentors on a Winter Sparrow Forecast for Texas. Will keep you posted if anything interesting…
Had clay colored sparrow and black chin hummer for first time this spring at the dacha. Fos white eyed vireo this week. Still have 4 species of winter sparrows, su skins and spot towhee.
Been hunting for Baird’s Sparrow south of Marfa. Had 8 bogies, but can’t get them to sit up. Here’s the best “view” of a possible I’ve had. The quest continues!!! (Note: there’s no bird in the photo).
So I watched this Lark Sparrow at L.E. Wood Picnic area in Davis Mnts for about 20 minutes. I couldn’t tell what he/she was up to until I checked the pix on PC. Gathering hairs!!!! For nesting I presume. What eyesight these critters have!!!
