Whitetail Bucks

Attached are some of the bucks the game cameras caught this last week.

Collared Dove

I haven't seen many of these.  A pair started showing up at our bird feeders.  Pictured is one of the birds.

The " Good old Days "...

With the tanks full of water once again it shouldn't take long to have this kind of fun return.  Yes, and we would clean and eat them all.

Calling Quail

These quail are reacting to a distress call made by whistling like a little peeping chicken made stressfully.

Texas Tortoise

You don't see as many of these as I remember as a kid.

Javelinas at one of the troughs for a bit of protein feed.

The best thing about Father's Day is the cake. I'll have a little more. Your can put it right here.

Another stock tank full

The pastures have been wet and today is the first chance I've had to see this tank. I had it cleaned out and reworked. This is the first time it has been full since that had been done.

Good crop of sunflowers...

This should be a good source of feed for the doves and quail.
