Rufous Hummingbird
We have at least 3 rufous hummers at our Fort Davis place. The notch in R2 (2nd tail feather (retrices) from the middle) in one of the pix is diagnostic.
Full adult male just showed up!! (more pix to come)

So I watched this Lark Sparrow at L.E. Wood Picnic area in Davis Mnts for about 20 minutes. I couldn’t tell what he/she was up to until I checked the pix on PC. Gathering hairs!!!! For nesting I presume. What eyesight these critters have!!!
Here’s a reminder for Eastern Empids. Any one want to reevaluate the Empid I had at Dacha?
I just can’t stop !!
Here’s a couple of very nice pix by Dennis Palafox taken at the coast recently.
A few sparrows from recent trip to Fort Davis area. 16 Sparrow species for the trip. No luck on the Baird’s despite many hours of walking the roads. The quest continues!!! I find the Lark Bunting to be so photogenic!! My favorite sparrow.
Here’s a few from the Davis mountains last week.
