Birding at Davis Mountains State Park by Sebastian Casarez

This summer, if you are in West Texas I recommend you to check out Davis Mountains State Park. There's lots of birds you can find there. Acorn Woodpeckers can easily be seen throughout the whole park. Males have bright red crowns and females have less red on the crown. They are called Acorn Woodpeckers because they make small holes all over trees and they store their acorns on each one of their holes.

At the bird feeders you can find White-winged Doves,  Acorn Woodpeckers and Ladder-backed Woodpeckers, Woodhouse's Scrub-Jays (formerly known as Western Scrub-Jays), Black-crested Titmice, Bewick's Wrens, Canyon Towhees, Rufous-crowned Sparrows, 

Black-headed Grosbeaks and Blue Grosbeaks, House Finches, and Lesser Goldfinches. Around the parking lots you can find tons of Say's Phoebes and Canyon Towhees.

 Besides, the diversity of beautiful birds in Davis Mountains State Park you can also find other wildlife there, too. Like the Black-tailed Jackrabbits, Rock Squirrels, Mule deer and much more! I highly recommend you to visit Davis Mountains State Park and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
