Started off my morning here in Davis Mountains with some bad iphone pix of Montezuma Quail. Then did a walk on roads south of Davis Mountains — glad to hear lots of singing birds and see water where I’ve not seen it before!!!

Few friends from the Trans-Pecos recently.
Dipped (for the 5th time) on CAGU in Texas — the search continues. Meanwhile these guys are always nice to see.
Something I just learned: male Bushtit dark eyes, female light.
And finally, here’s another cool gull from Corpus. It took me 7 tries over the past 3 years to finally get this gull. He’s been returning to a bait shop there for at least that long. Also compared to Herring in 1 pix.
