That’s a gray hawk.
It’s not a migratory bird. It picks out where it wants to be and stays put year-round. It wants to be at the southern tip of Texas and along the Southern Arizona border. From there down through Mexico and Central America, to South America.
From way over there, this guy took off.
And flew right over my head.
Until today.
Now we’ve seen a raccoon lately.
The weather is warmer.
Nice day for a walk.
Axis deer.
Spotted like a fawn, but it’s a full-size deer. Not native to South Texas. An exotic introduced in the 1930s from India, now with a well-established population throughout the Hill Country.
Pretending he’s standing in front of a mirror.
