Davis Mountains Sparrows
Spent some more time out in the Davis Mountains last week. The Brewer’s Sparrows sing in groups all in the same bush. See if you can ID others in the bush.

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.
Unless you already have a ticket, I’m a-feared the (very limited) live sparrowfest is sold out for 2022. But you can view the free presentation virtually if interested. January 29th.
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.

The view from Hornsby today.
So I watched this Lark Sparrow at L.E. Wood Picnic area in Davis Mnts for about 20 minutes. I couldn’t tell what he/she was up to until I checked the pix on PC. Gathering hairs!!!! For nesting I presume. What eyesight these critters have!!!
