After living in our place for 20 years, we have accumulated a backyard list of 149 species. We live only 4 miles from the MV Refuge so we get a good assortment of things. We are lucky to have seen things like Whooping Cranes fly over the house and be on the list. Well, this weekend a new bird arrived....Virginia Rail. It was standing in a sheltered place and we got some pics of it. It was quite a bird out of place.
Yesterday, at Home Lake, Jerry Poe found an adult male Summer Tanager in the crabapple trees at the Home Lake Veterans Center (Rio Grande County). I went out and got a few photos of this beautiful bird. Things are starting to move on the bird front.
