Birding Head of the River Ranch

I went birding yesterday afternoon with Terry Maxwell, an ornithologist at Angelo State University who will serve as my main advisor while I’m in graduate school. We birded a ranch where the headwaters of the Concho River are located. This spot has nesting Common Black Hawks, due to return in about a month, but the birding was slow and I won’t elaborate.

I’ve put up a group of 11 pictures from the outing. Perhaps the most surprising thing of the day was encountered on the road down.
