a pleasant couple of hours early this morning at Cook's Slough. I walked through the gate before the opening at 730. As Cinderella and I approached the inside parking lot I notice a lot of running little birds. At first I though Quail but then I realize parents were with the birds. Probably twenty some birds all together...chicks and parents...Wild Turkeys... http://www.pbase.com/bobsnature/image/143735807 I am sorry for some of the quality of pictures...I get my new nikon next week and my new lens... Also, to I had lots of Verdins all over the slough... I don't remember these birds being so frequent... http://www.pbase.com/bobsnature/image/143736294 The Black Vulture Chicks I have been observing the past couple months finally flew the coup this week. Both birds were near the pen up in a close tree. When Cinderella chased one of them the mother came by to make sure there was no problem. http://www.pbase.com/bobsnature/image/143735919 http://www.pbase.com/bobsnature/image/143735923 http://www.pbase.com/bobsnature/image/143735930 I'll go out tomorrow morning early...three ringed circus now with Bugs and Birds...and a snake or two... Have a nice Sunday! Bob Rasa Uvalde County Reporting
