platform.......Rec'ed several emails on this. Why do Caracaras, Turkey Vultures and especially brave heart crow people back down from a single smaller cuckoo when it comes to chow.?? But folks replying allow they have seen all the above species turn aside when Roadrunner wants what they have...I confess this is a new area of behavior I had never thought about before.....What gives?.....Might make a decent paper. There is still a Swainson's Thrush here, and about 10 mis. south of Elgin this morning I had a loose flock of 7 Couch's Kingbirds with 2 Scissortails. Did Webberville Park which were slow, slow , slow but had 1 RB Nuthatch another Couch's and a Wilson's Warbler....Saw some other birders at the big park but don't know who they were. -- Brush Freeman Independent and affiliated Field Biologist 361-655-7641 http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas The greatest musician of all time is mother nature.
