Finally got the pose I wanted !!

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!!!
Missed these guys at Sparrowfest this year, so enjoyed them in the Trans Pecos!!
Gulls class: given Jeff’s Texas Gulls Rule, can you ID this bird? Lake Balmorhea 11/18/22.
First some easy ones from the Trans Pecos
Here’s a couple from Davis Mountains region for someone not named Allan to ID please.
