Had another great weekend at the Leakey Hacienda. Having perfect habitat out
there in the hill country really makes a difference. We have 11 acres, with
woods, prairie & a running creek. We never know what bird will show up. This is
what we had this weekend.
Turkey Vulture, Black Vulture, Fulvous Whistling-Duck, Red-shouldered Hawk,
White-winged Dove, Mourning Dove, Elf Owl, Eastern Screech-Owl,
Chuck-will's-widow, Common Poorwill, Black-chinned Hummingbird, Yellow-billed
Cuckoo, Greater Roadrunner, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Ladder-backed
Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe, Couch's Kingbird, Vermilion Flycatcher,
Ash-throated Flycatcher, Western Scrub-Jay, Chihuahuan Raven, Black-crested
Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, Bewicks Wren, Eastern Bluebird, White-eyed Vireo,
Yellow-throated Warbler, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, Field Sparrow, Chipping
Sparrow, Lark Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Blue Grosbeak, Painted Bunting, House
Finch, Brown-headed Cowbird, Lesser Goldfinch.
The Elf Owl was calling Sunday morning and someone didn't bother to wake me! We
feel it's the same bird that has been heard in town, since we are quite close
to town.
The 7 Fulvous Whistling Ducks were flying a V formation. They had black wings
with no white on them. They did not vocalize. They held their necks out with a
little downward and back up look to them. Their necks were a bit lighter than
their bodies. We thought they were Black-bellied at first then noticed no white
on the wings. The only other this they could have been would be Greater
White-fronted Geese but it's way to early, they have white a white patch on
their rump and their were no vocalizations. We watched them flying for over a
mile in the fading light of day. This could be a 1st county record. They were
headed Southeast.
