May brings the return of the Mississippi Kites to the panhandle. These two will be raising young before long. They have mated, and I can only hope that they will nest nearby.
Do you have any more photos that show more of the bird in the back. There is a small possibility that the back bird is a White-tailed Kite (previously Black-shouldered Kite). Notice the whiter head that contrasts with the dark shoulder. This could also be a trick of the light.
This blog is intended to show the wide variety of birds we have coming, going, and residing in the Texas Panhandle. I consider it a challenge to personally photograph as many species and varieties of birds in the panhandle as I can as I go about my life. I will try to make entries as accurate as possible. I am a photographer, not a bird expert. Please feel free to correct me if any information I put here is in error. This is a work in progress. Enjoy our birds as I enjoy photographing them.
My blog was presented this Heart Award by Jeanie at The Marmalade Gypsy. Thank you very much, Jeanie! (Click on the image to visit The Marmelade Gypsy.)
Great pic! I hope to see some of these when I'm in Texas, but I'll be in the Hill Country. I hope they go that far south....
