Please start sending your posts to texbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Spent some time birding at Quinta Mazatlan this morning and had some interesting, if not unusual sightings. An adult Swainson's Hawk has been hanging around the park for a couple weeks now (really got some Green Parakeets to panic), and a Bewick's Wren (not a typical visitor at QM) is staying around as well. Orchard Orioles, and a Hooded Oriole exploring a palm on the road in. At our ampitheater feeder, I saw an Olive Sparrow show some agression to a House Sparrow (you tell 'em, Olive Sparrow!).
