No pix, but I stopped in Sandia Wetlands yesterday and had Upland sandpipers, LB Curlew, BN Stilts, Killdeer, Less Yellowlegs, and Solitary sandpipers.
Nice place to for a short stop if you are in the vicinity of Balmorhea, texas. Very close to I-10.
Also had Upland sandpipers over the davis mountains every few minutes in the evening. I sat out about 90 minutes and counted 15 flyovers.
Few friends from the Trans-Pecos recently.
I just can’t stop !!
Then some Trans Pecos mammals and weather.
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.
We have at least 3 rufous hummers at our Fort Davis place. The notch in R2 (2nd tail feather (retrices) from the middle) in one of the pix is diagnostic. Full adult male just showed up!! (more pix to come)
First some easy ones from the Trans Pecos
