Titmouse Davis Mountains
Came across this titmouse with an oddly curved tail in the Davis Mountains. Hope they grow in straight next time, buddy!!

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!!
Stopped at Sandia Wetlands near Balmorhea for another shorebird fix. 6 species of shorebirds. Phalaropes are just so photogenic!!
Here’s a few from the Davis mountains last week.
Here’s a couple from Davis Mountains region for someone not named Allan to ID please.
And here are some additional pix from Davis Mountains in August 2023.
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)
