Woodpecker’s namesake.

Here’s more on egrets/herons focusing on feeding behavior (mostly).
Here’s one i know u wont have trouble with. but for those of you up to the challenge, i’d like u to detail the differences between this bird seen at mills pond this morning, and others of the “solitary Vireo complex”. (actually I think this is 2 individuals, same species).
A chance to practice your silhouettes (and to be amazed that Plumbeous V can spell silhouette!). Only had 1 HO empid on this trip thus far. Near Cuba, NM. Not sure species.
Plus I was visited by an angel!!
Developing chicks at Mills Pond.
On September 26 this bird was somewhere in Oklahoma. On October 1 I’m pretty sure i saw the same bird in Alvarado Texas. Heading south!! (I didn’t get a pix though)
