Birdwatchers?

[Chinook]

Been having such a good time looking for cool birds down here in Texas that I completely forgot about checking in. We've been on the road for over a month now. We've driven more than 4000 miles, and nearly half of that has been in Texas. Big place. Birding has been great. We saw condors in California, whooping cranes, a rare warbler (golden cheeked warbler), and the endangered red cockaded woodpecker here in Texas, along with a whole lot of other birds. Incredible variety. We've seen more than 260 species so far. In two days we'll go on a 9 mile hike into the Chisos Mountain of Big Bend NP, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Colima Warbler. Very rare bird, only a few hundred nesting pairs in the US. When I'm not so tired, I'll try posting a few pics.

I was sailing in the Gulf of Mexico Saturday and had this little critter with me for about 20 minutes. I was close to five miles offshore when it landed. I'm guessing I was a convenient spot to rest. Anyone know what it is?

Just a Warning! The supposed birds could really be watching You! https://apple.news/AisErCWh0SYyEB6pCcSBXsw

Wait! You mean that the “Birds” weren’t really a band?
So whose concert did I go to?



You mean Alfred Hitchcock swapped in frames to subliminally just make us think there was a band?

Took a minute to find the birdie at the base of the lifeline stantion hiding behind the winch….


It looks like a rare variety of “ fugax defessus modicum flavum punctata avis requiescit super bonum homines navis“!!

That is an “L.Y.J.” As some of the local Bird vet specialists here would call it. Little Yellow Jobber https://postimg.cc/NLFwm2K0

Possibly a Female/immature Townsend's Warbler. ??

It sure look like one but they are not supposed to live anywhere near here. I wonder if they have any east coast relatives.

I think this thread should include dogs as well. That is Dexter the Adventure Dog taking his first surf lesson

And Iguanas

The camouflage of this white-crowned sparrow in the grass is just remarkable.

Where's Waldo?


He's a little more obvious in the feeder.

I just won my own bounty for photographing a new species. Unfortunately it came with the destruction of a robin, but such is the circle of life.




Now, to identify.

John,

Why does it look like the other fellow is holding a squeeze bottle of mustard.
