Greetings All:
On Friday, while looking at what turned out to be a 'runt' first-winter
Ring-billed Gull at Dupree Park I stumbled - literally - over 3 Inca Doves in
the dense vegetation along the western edge of the playa. They were,
evidently, exploring their inner snipe:) The species has becoming depressingly
scarce in our region and I cherish every sighting.
On Saturday, I flushed an Orange-crowned Warbler from the remnants of the
wildflower patch in my Lubbock backyard. There you have it: the winter
weedpatch is good for birds as well as overwintering Lepidoptera.
