Birds, birds, everywhere there are birds...

The following pictures are various birds we have photographed along the way during our trip.  Some a little fuzzy and barely visible but, proof they exist. Hopefully I have the species names correct.  
Picture
Above Royal Tern the small one is a Least Tern, top right Sandhill Crane, bottom two Crested Caracara...

The above bird is of the falcon family.  It is a Caracara and I have yet to grab a decent photo of them.  I think these are my favorite because of the large size 23" long and 50" wing span and unusual looks.  Below is the Vermillion Flycatcher 6"L 10 WS...same species but different bird on the right and bottom...this one is either young or molting I am not sure which.

Red Shoulder Hawk at Cotton Wood Camp ground in Big Bend NP.  Great Horned Female owl mating with male who flew to nesting tree right above our camper and hooted a lot during the night.  Anyone know what these birds are to the right and below?  I am stumped... the yellow front or throat elliminate the Scotts Oriole, I believe.

Because we meet Jerry and Kit walking on the trail we were able to take their golf cart on a 4 hour ride into the 54miles of hiking trails they have here, to this location and other places. THAN-YOU JERRY AND KIT

    About  Us

    After my husbands widow maker heart attack in 2004, the doctor said just relax and enjoy life for a while. So it happened: the 43' NewMar Mountain Aire coach was purchased and the house sold....eventually. Relaxing? Not always! We are truly blessed to spend this time together... and with friends. 

    Up Date:

    September 2015 now traveling with Ford F350diesel dually and Host Mammoth Truck Camper.
