Baird’s Sparrow NO
Been hunting for Baird’s Sparrow south of Marfa. Had 8 bogies, but can’t get them to sit up. Here’s the best “view” of a possible I’ve had. The quest continues!!! (Note: there’s no bird in the photo).

While we’re on the subject of spizellas: Here’s a few Brewer’s Sparrow pix from trans Pecos. The last pix is the Will Co Brewer’s from Sparrowfest. It’s a still from a digi-scoped video of him. Tried to get a bit of his nape.
Was in Davis Mountains week of the 4th. Here’s a couple of nice ones.
Love these colorful, chunky grasshoppers in Davis Mountains this time of year. They’re called Plains Lubber Grasshoppers. Also a couple of young birds for someone to ID.
Here’s a couple from Davis Mountains region for someone not named Allan to ID please.
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.
Really enjoyed this beautiful and cooperative gull !! I’ve decided Glaucous and Iceland are my favorites, until I see an Ivory or Ross’s at least!!
