Redheads 1/27/08
Winter resident on some area lakes, but they never seem to stay more than a day or two in my neighborhood--so I consider them a migrant. |

Ruby-throated Hummingbird 10/30/05
A late date for an Archilochus hummingbird. Most likely a Ruby-throated, but could be a Black-chinned, as it is very difficult to separate these two species in the field. |

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds 9/11/05
Rainy fall days are probably the best for seeing lots of hummers at once. |

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 9/23/07
A common migrant for my yard, but can be found in the area in winter, and there is a small local breeding population also. |
|

|
Black and White Warbler 3/7/09
Black and Whites were fairly common winter visitors when I first moved here, but the last few winters have become chiefly migrants in my yard. A few nest in the general area.

Lark Sparrow 3/21/08
Can be found 'year-round in south central Texas, but usually only in my yard as a spring migrant. |

A winter resident for the area, but typically only a migrant thru my yard. |

White-crowned Sparrow 3/19/08
A local winter resident, but seen infrequently in my yard, so I've listed this species as a migrant. |

Indigo Bunting 4/14/09
Usually a fleeting spring migrant. Spring of 2009 brought Indigos to the area by the flock; 7 or 8 males visible at a time was commonplace for about a two week period throughout the San Antonio region. I found them to be camera shy! |
|
|
|
Common Grackle 5/16/09
Seen as a winter resident in nearby urban areas, the Common Grackle is a migrant in my yard (late spring into early summer; may breed in the general vicinity). |

Bullock's Oriole 9-14-08
Certainly a Northern, and probably a Bullock's, rather than a Baltimore. |
