    I let a senior ornithologist colleague of mine know about the flycatcher I saw. It was just over the county line by a couple miles and he said it is the 2nd record ever for that county. He actually went out this morning and just text me that he found it. Good stuff.

    That's my guess too. No light colored feathers on head or tail.

    Naw, Cooper's hawks have long skinny toes. I'm thinking broadwing hawk, but I'm not sure.

    We call them “mile or more” birds, because if you startle them with a boat they will shit a stream a mile or more long...

    My truck got hit with one of those streams once...looked like it was hit by an entire flock of birds. I've also seen bald eagles take a massive dump in flight, and if I could see that with binoculars from several hundred yards away, you know it was a bunch of crap...lol

    It's just a weight dump; uses less energy to get airborne.

    Once again I used my iPhone shot through my binoculars. Although I need more practice, I am getting a little better aligning those devices.

    Nice shot to get, too bad it wasn't better quality. I have been searching for a couple of years here in Central Texas, I have chased leads all over, but no actual sightings. Way to go!
