Birds in snow….. do I need to say more?
Here’s a short sparrow quiz from the Davis Mountains. Can you do it without references?
Here’s a few from the Davis mountains last week.
Just back from a few days at Fort Davis. Stopped in at Sandia Wetlands (a nice stop just off I10) and Lake Balmorhea and had 9 species of shorebird. Killdeer, BN Stilt, Avocet, Wilson’s Phal, Spotted Sand, Western Sand (flyby), Upland Sand (several flyovers), Greater yellowlegs and my fav: fly right over the head 12…
Allan and I enjoyed chasing this elusive but consistent guy around by sound at Gage Gardens in Marathon. He’s a photogenic lad!!
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.
