Here’s a couple of pix I thought a little unusual. 2 male Vermillions on territory but amicably sitting close together — Maybe family?
And 11 Blue Grosbeaks in a flock (not all pictured) – maybe migrating? I’ve never seen more than 2 together that I recall.
Forgot to post this one: I’ve tried to see the planet Mercury off and on for about the last 50 years. Being the closest planet to the sun, it is usually in sun or city glare. In March out in the clear skies of the Davis Mountains I finally succeeded!!! Here’s a greatly zoomed in…
Few friends from the Trans-Pecos recently.
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!!!
First from Lake Balmorhea, 2nd from Choke Canyon Reservoir. ID?
Something I just learned: male Bushtit dark eyes, female light.
Birds in snow….. do I need to say more?
