I was staying at the hospital with my brother I went out to walk service his dog and take photos of the anoles. ThenI a saw a falcon. I went out to try and get the photo of the falcon but than saw a nightjar trying to fly in the day time. It managed to get up on a branch and then I saw something strange a Blue Jay came down and started feeding it. By the time I got the camera out and set the blue jay noticed me but I have the photo of the nightjar. I did also get a quick glance of the blue jay later on.
Here is the BlueJay https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/31567228
I would also like to know what type of NightJar he/she is. I'm from Austin so I can't stay to watch them. Spotted at MD Anderson Cancer Center near pocket prairie in trees across from Texas Children's.
SPARROW impaled by a Loggerhead Shrike.
I went around Texas City to add a few observations for the city challenge.
I ran into a birding leader this morning that told me that he heard the call for a long-billed dowitcher.
