Tequisquiapan out and about


A few shots of garden birds from this morning.  Firstly this colourful male House Finch.


Also this Cactus Wren, which has been using dog hair to pad it's nest.  These guys are real characters.


Had a run in the mountains this morning and saw Phainopeplas, Northern Ravens, a Canyon Wren and a Red-tailed Hawk amongst other good birds.  Things are also starting to kick off at the reservoir, with at least 500 Baird's Sandpipers and 200 Wilson's Phalaropes present, with handfuls of American Coots, Ruddy Ducks and Mexican Ducks.  Also a big female Peregrine doing its best to hunt the thousands of Barn Swallows present in the area at the moment.
