This was our second day of the Christmas Bird Count, and here are some of the notable mentions
on this date. My highlight was the Greater Roadrunner, which I had first seen last spring. This
character was posing for me today instead of running. There was a ground of sixty turkeys seen first thing in the morning, and the displays were impressive. There were only these two males among
females. Last but not least, here are a few steer that happened to be in the area.
You know I love those roadrunners! Beep beep. Great pictures, Deb. Merry Christmas Bird Woman.
ReplyDeleteThat roadrunner was one lucky opportunity. He was sitting on one post, then moved to another. I just cannot describe how ecstatic I was when I saw him, and the fact that he allowed me to photograph him. I have wanted to capture this bird since the first time I saw one in the spring on South Padre Island.
