Got bird # 149 at the Dacha recently (found by Mary)

There’s been several Screech Owls singing on my early morning walks recently and this morning also a Barred Owl.
First from Lake Balmorhea, 2nd from Choke Canyon Reservoir. ID?
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.
Here are the gulls we did see. Can you ID without your book?
Plus I was visited by an angel!!
For today’s High Island Warmup we have a little quiz: Egret/heron bill & head. Suggest you try it without looking at references. Note the differences in lores & bill color, as well as bill shape. You can email me your answers if you want to, but please don’t respond with the answers as that will…
