2 Inca Dove were at the birdbath here yesterday....the first I've seen this
year.
Also had a Red Shouldered Hawk hanging out for a couple days. First to be
seen here.

And we've had the usual yardbirds:

Cardinals
Bluebirds
Mockingbird (who's singing a lot lately)
Scissortails
Killdeer
Canada Geese (LOTS!)
Chickadee
Titmouse
Eurasian Collared Dove
Great Horned Owl
Barred Owl
Turkey & Black vultures
Redtail Hawk
European Sparrows
Chipping Sparrows
Roadrunner
Great Blue Heron
Crows (lots)
Carolina Wren
Bluejays
Flycatcher (sorry, no definite ID)
Woodpecker
Brown-headed Cowbird
Cattle Egrets
Mallards (on the river)
Belted Kingfisher

The White-Winged Doves seem to have left, as have the Hummingbirds.

Have also had around the house lately: a skunk (wanders by every morn), a
Raccoon (tried to move into the rain gutter under the deck roof, but now is
living under the empty house next door), a Fox (wanders through every
dusk), and a Possum (see the tracks in the dirt around the house every
morn). And of course the resident herd of 13 deer. That number doesn't seem
to vary from year to year. Kinda interesting.

We sure need some rain
here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so dry, I'm having nose bleeds. And we can walk across the river (live
in a bend of the Brazos) at almost every point here.

Good birding.
