These birds were on Texas 48 between
Port Isabel and Bajia Grande. They were perched on the
fence just West about 30' along the highway. I stopped
my car and took the photos even with the birds and drove
on without them flying. A pair of Harris Hawks were also
in the same situation just on a curve with a guard rail
making parking too dangerous. Larger pictures can be
see by clicking on the photos. Does anyone know what
kind
of a turtle the Chihuahuan Raven is enjoying? The raven
usually pick up road kill unlike the raptors who look
for live prey.

| I visited the 15 mile loop, Texas 48,
and other parts of the Laguna Madre Thursday. One Heron,
a Tri-colored Heron, was seen while very few Egrets
with no Reddish Egrets were visable in their usual
wading and feeding locations. Rosette Spoonbills were
also strangely absent. I could not get out to see the
biggest collection of nesting Reddish Egrets in the
USA on Green Island. I hope that location has faired
better! |
