Charmaine,
You might want to take another look (and listen) to those ravens. Common
Raven is the species usually found in that region and habitat.

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.
