Releases continue in south TX, but it's unlikely that any will be released out here in the near future (not sure if that includes the Sierra Blanca and Van Horn sites, too, but Marfa/Marathon/Sanderson certainly will not have a fresh batch of Aplomado Falcons for a long time). We do have our fingers crossed, however, and will keep folks posted as we know more!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376018353561979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-45934714298982262262012-12-02T19:55:26.645-06:002012-12-02T19:55:26.645-06:00My phone helped out on my original post, so I will...My phone helped out on my original post, so I will spell check this one more closely! Your picture of the juvenile Aplomado brought to mind a conversation with Heidi about the success, or lack thereof, of the previously released falcons. Is there any chance that more will be released?<br />lulubellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521325004370989306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-66863256325945814282012-12-02T19:49:35.907-06:002012-12-02T19:49:35.907-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.lulubellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521325004370989306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-84176976926255584752012-11-30T14:37:56.399-06:002012-11-30T14:37:56.399-06:00It'll be three years next July - I tend to mea...It'll be three years next July - I tend to measure things in strange ways! Two and a half winters is how long I survived IL, so starting the 3rd winter out here is a big milestone for me; I've never made it longer than three winters anywhere outside of the Upper Texas Coast! I lasted exactly three winters in Abilene, so this is kind of exciting. <br /><br />Just holler when the trip rolls around - if for any reason we're not here, we'll make sure you have adequate information! You'll have to get more into central TX for Golden-cheeked Warbler, but we can help out with that and Black-capped Vireo as well. Some of our old stomping grounds... <br /><br />Best sighting? Ooo. Matt's Swainson's Warbler and Bay-breasted Warbler are probably tied the 'best' sightings - there were no fall records at all for the region, for either of them. Lapland Longspur is up there, with the first through fourth county records... but if you're asking about personal bias, we like them all! The Zone-tailed Hawk carrying a bunny to the nest was pretty darn awesome, though...heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376018353561979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-27314516408646177162012-11-30T14:27:35.556-06:002012-11-30T14:27:35.556-06:00I bet something could be arranged, since I think I...I bet something could be arranged, since I think I'm ~3 years behind on being a good aunt ;-)heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376018353561979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-39665397075892097682012-11-30T13:58:06.385-06:002012-11-30T13:58:06.385-06:00Wow three years?

Y...Wow three years? That's like, 1095 days! <br />Y'all are troopers for sure, rivaling Lewis, Clark, and good ol' J.J. Audubon in your naturalistic dedication. Sometime in the next two years I'm hoping for a trip to west Texas...gotta get Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Colima Warbler, and Golden-cheeked Warbler. I hope y'all are still in the area then, but hey if duty calls elsewhere at least there's the blog to follow.<br />Congratulations.<br /><br />So, hard and annoying a question as this is, what has been your best bird sighting so far?Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126121203244929466.post-6368263943734995802012-11-30T13:10:27.665-06:002012-11-30T13:10:27.665-06:00oh! oh! oh! pick me! the boys would love some natu...oh! oh! oh! pick me! the boys would love some nature prints (or you can just e-mail me hi-res photos & i can print them myself). kindlihttp://www.avidinkling.comnoreply@blogger.com
