Greetings from the hot, dry, and only somewhat birdy Davis Mountains, TX, where the Montezuma Quail elude us thus far but Scott's Orioles, Mountain Bluebirds and others have been nice consolation prizes. I'm leading a tour here with Mark Garland, and as such won't have much time for blogging, so I'm going to go with a "Bird of the Day" theme, and see where that takes us.
