A Small Assortment of Birds, Large Ones and Smaller Ones

Thursday, October 25, 2012

I really did manage to see more than the butterflies on the Leon Creek South Greenway on my walk on Monday, October 15. As a matter of fact, I saw a lot more, three blog posts worth. This is the second in that series of posts.

In the order of appearance in the sequence, these are: a red-shouldered hawk, a turkey vulture, a pair of mourning doves and a couple of barn swallows*:











* It can be a little difficult to distinguish barn swallows from some of the other swallows when they are inflight. I am basing the identification of these two on the deeply forked shape of their tales.
