Just big birds today. No chi-chi birds.

Just a RR, no 'yote. I was writing a report in my patrol car when he came running past me.




Two of them were working around a bush on the fenceline. I suspect they had something cornered in there. Seems they were working the bush from opposite sides, trying catch whatever they were after.

Got out of the truck for a sec and heard this RTH screech at me. Upon closer inspection I saw that she was on a nest with a youngster. She eventually flew off of the nest but stayed directly overhead, telling me how she unhappy she was. Gives new meaning to "watch you like a hawk".

I suspect that all of those birds will eat quail and just about anything that doesn't eat them first. Circle of life. Somebody has to eat someone else to survive.

Is it just me or does a Cara Cara look like a bald eagle with a bad toupee?

Great pics. Love the hawk shots. Is the Cara Cara native to Texas?

I had never seen a cara cara till last year hunting out of D'hanis! I wondered what was making noise and one flew out close to me,interesting looking birds! Saw lots of them while hunting on the Quatro B. All we have in my part are sparrows,native white wings and starving buzzards!


Brayden (Lazy L's Southern Comfort) you will be missed! You were more than a pet you were my reason to rise and return for many days! You were my rock!
