This was at the Adams county fairgrounds a couple of weeks ago.

Annual turtle visit.

Good thing so far this year is that have yet to see any of his cousins flat on the highway.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b567e0474.jpg

I saw a turtle the other day too. Had to move her out of the way.

Sitting in a parking lot eating lunch while my little dog was at the vet. These birds (and several others) landed on the front of the car and started eating the bugs from the grill. Might be a clue it's time for a wash?

I saw those birds in a Walmart parking lot in Texas.

I legit waved toward OK as I drove by too.

Damn... Those birds get around. Where were you in TX?

Not sure but they appear to be juvenile Common Grackles. Also nest in CO in relatively small numbers, most frequently in lower elevation deciduous forests in urban/suburban areas. I had a group of males and later a few females visit during spring migration at 8500 ft., but they don't nest here.

Thanks, Hummer. I had no idea what they are.

They are ornery birds. Not in the good way imo.

I was driving to Grand Saline, TX from Denver, so I'm pretty sure the Walmart parking lot I slept in was in Wichita Falls. It was 85 degrees at 1:30am when I pulled in. I don't recommend it. Sleep didn't happen.
