More to ID.
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.
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.
Last week Virginia and I made the trip out to S. Llano SP for the Rufous-backed Robin that’s been hanging out there. We were 95% sure we heard it, but it never came into water feature on that chilly and gray day. So I went back on 2/17/25 and got the full treatment. In addition…
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!!!
PLEASE DON’T GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER YET!! Just answer with a “yes”, if you can ID this gull we had on our Field Trip in Galveston over the weekend.
