A male cardinal without any feathers on his head is in my backyard daily. He has been without head feathers for two months. He seems to have a mate. Is this molting? When are his feathers going to return?

upon checking this "recent sighting" list today, i realized i made an error on my last post of jun 17. i saw a yellow crown night heron, not a black.
i also realized no one posts much on this website.

just after 1:00 pm today, a female bullocks oriole took a dip in our yard's bird bath. she was quickly follow by a gray cat bird, which was folled by a male wilson's warbler. what a 10 minute treat that was.

After returning from New Braunfels we decided to swing by the San Marcos Civic Center just off Clovis Barker rd from I-35. Our quest was to see if either the Red Tail Hawk or the Red Shouldered Hawk was nesting in the old cottonwood tree along the small creek bed. The nest was still there, it had weathered the winter rains and wind beautifully. Upon closer inspection there were a pair of eyes peering over the rim. Our movement piqued her interest just enough for her to expose herself a little more and there we saw what we really wanted to see, the Great Horned Owl nesting in the tree from which she had become absent for the past two years. She and the nest is visible from the road leading into the civic center, so if you go, be alert the nest is about 10 feet down from the top and very visible.

a late posting.
last saturday afternoon, i birded prospect park in san marcos. spotted a rock wren along the rock lined levy in the park. i think that would be the west side of the levy.
also had great looks at the northern wheatear in bee county; al green showed up shortly before i did.
in my posting of nov. 29, i incorrectly said "marsh sparrow" instead of "swamp sparrow".

Ed and I were exploring the route of Mt. Sharp Road between Jacobs Well and Hwy 2325. We saw something "bobbing" along in the middle of the road. We took a closer look and noted markings, beak, size, etc. When we looked in our Sibley's we decided it was an American Woodcock. No doubt about it. It's slow bobbing walk is very intriguing (actually very humorous).
