Rusty Blackbird in Alpine

A lifer for me. I've been hearing a strange bird sound all month but just yesterday afternoon located this Rusty Blackbird high in a pecan tree. I'm still in Alpine but packed for going south after this post.


Also this Red-shouldered Hawk has been hanging around for a month (ID per Kelly Bryan. I'm bad on hawks.)

    Congratulations on another lifer. It is always a thrill to add another one. :-)

    Thanks,Bob. I almost missed getting this one even though it was hanging around. I think I didn't look close enough at blackbirds when I first heard it and tried to locate it.
