“I’m ready for my close up Mr. Demille”

Birds in snow….. do I need to say more?
Came across this titmouse with an oddly curved tail in the Davis Mountains. Hope they grow in straight next time, buddy!!
You gotta love a woman who responds with a huge enthusiastic grin, gets her shoes on, and follows you outside when you say “We have dung beetles!!!!”!! We were delighted to see 3 of these little dudes rolling their business at our place near Fort Davis!!!
And here are some additional pix from Davis Mountains in August 2023.
I believe virtual sparrow fest is free this year. https://www.friendsofbalcones.org/event-4122116. Sign up and see what Dr Birdy and friends can find on the refuge. Try googling sparrowfest 2021 if link above doesn’t work.
