Seeing a White-eyed Vireo in her hanging pocket nest was a first for me! Many thanks to Chris, the photographer who pointed it out to us!
Taken on Lake Creek Trail in Williamson County, Texas while birding with Pat Watson.
This morning Pat Watson and I found this Couch's Kingbird on Lake Creek Trail in Northwest Austin (Williamson County). A few Couch's Kingbirds began appearing on the trail in the spring just a few years ago. They seem to be breeding here although we haven't documented a nest yet. I heard and then spotted this at an inaccessible place across the creek. I played a little bit of recorded song and it flew over to us to investigate and counter-sing.
