Scissor-tails and Friends 102709 : Today was the day the Scissor-tails came migrating through the San Jacinto Monument. When Judy and I drove through this afternoon around 4 PM. There were Scissor-tails all over the back side of the monument in the trees, the utility lines, the bushes all in the grounds. To say I saw 100+ would be conservative. They had a few friends there as well.

Mocking Bird vs Swainson's Hawk : Took grandsons, Jacob(8) and Joey(15), to shoot pictures and the San Jacinto Monument on 102509. As we turned onto Independence Prkwy. from 225, Jacob pointed out a hawk flying over the field on the left. Got a few shots of it flying. After visiting the San Jacinto Monument, we a hawk perched along side the road. The hawk was being attacked by a pair of mocking birds that seemed to think the tree the hawk was perched by was their territory.
