And here are some additional pix from Davis Mountains in August 2023.
Here’s a courtship or territorial display of the Cooper’s Hawk. He climbed higher and higher and spread white feathers at the base of the tail, then very deliberately flapped wings up all the way , then all the way down. Cool sight to see!! LE Woods picnic grounds, Davis Mountains, 3/17/25.
Missed these guys at Sparrowfest this year, so enjoyed them in the Trans Pecos!!
Then some Trans Pecos mammals and weather.
I spent the last week in Davis Mountains. Here’s a few locals. Having heard of 88 mountain plovers near San Angelo, I detoured that direction on the way home and found about a dozen on a cold and rainy morning. Nice turf farm there on Susan Peak road. See map below if you want to…
Finally got the pose I wanted !!
