Finally got the pose I wanted !!
I was delighted to add this heard only bird to the yard list at our Davis Mountains Resort (DMR) place. Also heard them most of the morning at LE Woods picnic area and saw one briefly. (This iPhone video is from a later sighting in the DMR). Current name is Montezuma Quail, but I learned…
Another BBS out of Marfa is in the books! Here’s a few participants. What say ye on the flycatcher? (same bird in 2 pix and a video)
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.
Got the Breeding Bird Survey near Marfa done for 2023 yesterday with my buddy Allan. It was a good year!! Many of the species that were down during drought seemed to have come back!!
