Only appropriate that I would have Chicken of the Woods growing on the trail in my backyard!

Squawk Talk streamed yesterday, but if you missed it you can catch it any time this week on KWVH 94.3 Wimberley Valley Radio in the Archive Vault https://www.kwvh.org/archive-vault (you'll have to fast forward a bit to reach the start of my show).
This week I answer a few chicken questions re: chicks and then continue discussion of my recent Birding Trip in So. California (aka Hours of Driving the Big White Van!)! Just FYI... keep this trip in mind for future as it's a great trip! In spite of the rain, did we get the elusive Mountain Quail? How about White-headed woodpecker, Red-breasted sapsucker and Black-throated Gray warbler? I love hearing from you so please send your comments and questions https://www.huthavian.com/contact-info.html

Vampire finch! Is that berry juice or blood on it's lips? A unique behavior of drinking blood from bo***es may have originated from a form of commensalism in which the ancestor of the vampire finch would pick off parasites from the boobie, and gradually evolved into the finches developing a taste for this alternative food source!

Howdy everyone, just a reminder that I will be leading a 1st Tuesday Bird Walk on November 3rd, meeting in the parking lot of the Wimberley Community Center at 7:15AM. Look for the red RAV4 with the big antenna (or maybe a gray Prius). We will then drive to our destination. The birding usually goes until 10:00 or 11:00, at which point we can depart or have an early lunch. The cost is $10 a person and is open to all.
This month we will be going to Charro Ranch Park in Dripping Springs. Hopefully we will be able to find some newly arrived sparrows, towhees, or other fall migrants, plus locals like Golden-fronted Woodpecker, White-eyed Vireo, Lesser Goldfinch, Greater Roadrunner, Cooper's Hawk, Eastern Bluebird, and more!
A map to the location can be found here:

We should arrive around 7:45AM.
My phone is 979-422-7061 if you need to contact me.
RSVPs are not required if you meet us at the Community Center, but they are appreciated. Please let me know if you plan to meet at the birding location.

Happy National Good & Plenty Day! Personally I'll stick with the cupcakes. Did you know Good & Plenty is the oldest continually produced candy brand in America?

I'm a couple days behind in reminding you to listen to this week's Squawk Talk. This week I'm sharing stories about my recent birding tour to So. California. It's time there for Fall migration of warblers & passerines and also sea bird migration, as well as endemics that can only be seen there. So happy that we saw all of our target birds!

What great weather this morning for birding at Schulle Canyon Natural Area! Twelve of us enjoyed seeing Kestrels, Nashville Warbler (photo), Black-and-White Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Chimney Swifts, Couch's Kingbird, and others. We heard an Indigo Bunting but didn't get eyes on. Next walk will be Nov 3, so plan on birding with us and then going to vote!

Yesterday was Squawk Talk Sunday and we start with the answer to a chicken question that was called in re: egg size. Tune in to the Archive Vault any time this week to hear the explanation and more about chickens and eggs at https://www.kwvh.org/archive-vault.
Until next week, contact me at www.huthavian.com about all things chicken or bird.
