Speaking of photogenic birds….
Forgot to post this one: I’ve tried to see the planet Mercury off and on for about the last 50 years. Being the closest planet to the sun, it is usually in sun or city glare. In March out in the clear skies of the Davis Mountains I finally succeeded!!! Here’s a greatly zoomed in…
Here’s a couple of pix I thought a little unusual. 2 male Vermillions on territory but amicably sitting close together — Maybe family? And 11 Blue Grosbeaks in a flock (not all pictured) – maybe migrating? I’ve never seen more than 2 together that I recall.
First some easy ones from the Trans Pecos
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.
Few friends from the Trans-Pecos recently.
