Sparrowfest 2022
Unless you already have a ticket, I’m a-feared the (very limited) live sparrowfest is sold out for 2022. But you can view the free presentation virtually if interested. January 29th.

Forgot the sparrows!!! Here’s a few more to ID, including 1 pretty good bird for eastern Will Co.
Several first of season for me today at my place. Cranes, w throat sparrow, hermit thrush, mr Lincoln, spot towhee and just now woodcock. It don’t hurt much
Love these colorful, chunky grasshoppers in Davis Mountains this time of year. They’re called Plains Lubber Grasshoppers. Also a couple of young birds for someone to ID.
I believe virtual sparrow fest is free this year. https://www.friendsofbalcones.org/event-4122116. Sign up and see what Dr Birdy and friends can find on the refuge. Try googling sparrowfest 2021 if link above doesn’t work.
We visited S. Llano River SP on beautiful yesterday!! Bird highlights were Vermillion Fly, Great crested fly, PABU, five species of Vireo (BC, WE, RE, YT and Bell’s) (all but BC are also at the Dacha today), Clay-colored, Lark, Chipping, Field, Grasshopper Sparrows, Eastern Wood Pewee. Lots of singing as you can imagine!!— with Mary…
A few sparrows from recent trip to Fort Davis area. 16 Sparrow species for the trip. No luck on the Baird’s despite many hours of walking the roads. The quest continues!!! I find the Lark Bunting to be so photogenic!! My favorite sparrow.
