I walked outside the other day to hear a new birdsong in my yard. I spotted this bird!
It swooped into the air and caught an insect.
After consulting my Smithsonian Handbooks Birds of Texas, I think it is a Couch's Kingbird. It is common in the lower Rio Grande valley of Texas in summer; uncommon in winter and casual to the Gulf Coast in fall and winter.
I teach 4 year olds during the school year. In my spare time(haha), I enjoy clogging, gardening, sewing, cake decorating, and old things! I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sons, ages 27 and 17!
We have 2 dogs (Honey and Lexi), a rabbit (Chewey),three cat (Samson, Rascal and Bella) and 7 chickens. The hens are Blossom, Buffy, Scarlet, and Matilda. I had on roo, Gottlieb. Then I let Buffy sit on some eggs and I ended up with 2 more roosters. My coop is called Cackleberry Cottage.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit. I enjoy sharing all the wonderful "little things" that make life so special! Say hello and leave a comment!
