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!!!
Had clay colored sparrow and black chin hummer for first time this spring at the dacha. Fos white eyed vireo this week. Still have 4 species of winter sparrows, su skins and spot towhee.
More to ID.
Here’s a few pix from sparrowfest. After a slow morning in the fog (at least for me and Byron’s group), in the afternoon we caught up with some good birds discovered by the other group. Several pix of Brewer’s sparrow which sat up and napped with us for about 15 minutes. I didn’t get pix…
Here’s a nice one at doe skin ranch at the Balcones NWR (iPhone pix)
This is for last year, but I wanted to bring your attention to an interesting website (of which you may already be aware). http://www.jeaniron.ca/2019/wff19.htm Keep your eyes open for 20/21 prediction. JeP PS I’m in the process of querying my mentors on a Winter Sparrow Forecast for Texas. Will keep you posted if anything interesting…
