Found a few gulls at Fox park Granger lake (thanks to a tip from a friend). It’s good to find any gulls in Centex. Species? any of you gull students?
More from the PacNW. I’ve been thinking of the many Western GUlls as “big birds” (58″ wingspan), but they were dwarfed as they escorted this eagle on its way. Eagle’s are 80″ wingspan. Also had gloaming fly-bys of Murrelet’s, Marbled I presume, but couldn’t be sure.
Other than not finding Baird’s (yet) I am finding good sparrows. Here’s a few pix from Marfa vicinity for ya’ll to ID. I’ve had 13 species so far.
They say you have to be crazy to get into gulls……………I didn’t last long, so still mostly sane!
Speaking of photogenic birds….
