Roy Guerrero Field Trip

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)

Here’s a reminder of 3 field marks for Downy v Hairy Woodpecker. 1 Small black bars on outer tail feathers (Downy). All white for Hairy. 2) Bill shorter than the width of the head (Downy). Hairy is much larger bill, comparable to width of head. 3) Red on back of head on male Downy uninterrupted…

Just added bird 148 at The Dacha: Western Meadowlark. (Note: I don’t have a pix of Western, this one’s an Eastern).

Here’s an interesting bird. Near Denton Article about Leucism and Albinism
