Screech Owl Hyde Park
Here’s a cool little visitor to the hot tub last night

I also heard them on Masters telecast yesterday.

On September 26 this bird was somewhere in Oklahoma. On October 1 I’m pretty sure i saw the same bird in Alvarado Texas. Heading south!! (I didn’t get a pix though)
Ok, here’s where birding gets tantalizing (?) frustrating (?)…….again!! We were just out on a snow walk in garland near a wooded creek. I heard an owl. I heard it twice give 3 note, medium pitched hoots — lower pitched than Saw Whet, and Northern pygmy, higher pitched than Long eared — not screech, not…
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
Woodpecker’s namesake.
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)
