Before I got distracted with my box of books yesterday, here is more from my warm Friday afternoon walk at the grasslands.
So I know you can’t see any of the birds I saw in this photo. However there were Fox Sparrows, Spotted Towhees, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a few White-throated Sparrows. This was the most I have seen in one place in awhile. It warmed my heart!
Poop on a log. And that is all I will say. LOL.
This another of those can you find it. 🙂 There is a titmouse. At the LBJ grasslands we are in the hybrid zone for the Tufted Titmouse and Black-crested Titmouse. This was studied and verified by Claire for her dissertation.
The bright red Northern Cardinal posed just for a moment on a snag. It was much easier to find in the viewfinder. 😉
Perhaps a crow’s or a vulture’s feather.
A vulture’s feather. I lean to a Turkey Vulture because of the browner rachis and barbs color.
The US Fish & Wildlife Service Forensics Laboratory has a nice Identify My Feather website. However usually I go to my copy of the “Bird Feathers” by Scott and McFarland first.

Hello Titmice! Hello feathers too!
I would say hello titmouse too of I could find it!
I found the titmouse. Yay! Now what kinda poop was that?
Where’s Waldo? I mean Titmouse? Found it!
