Now this is how you shake the pecans out of a tree!

Using the truck to pull one rake and tractor for the second rate. Finished raking bad baking just barely beating the rain!

Juliet celebrated her birthday at Scurlock Farms and said she had always wanted to learn to milk a cow or a goat. David showed her how and she learned to milk a goat very quickly!

Triplets just born! Notice the size of the white and brown one – he is twice as large as the smallest!

This baby Roadrunner fell out of his nest too early. We could not reach the nest, even with our tallest extension ladder. Mama led him into heavy brush. Read more here: https://scurlockfarms.com/birds-willi…

This Great Horned Owl was filmed with an infra-red night scope at Scurlock Farms. When David began videoing, the owl was sitting on the ground, and he thought it was a coyote! Then the owl began flying towards him and looked like a UFO before it lit on an electric line just above him.

Watch for the spider to disable his victim, then wrap him up cor a future meal. Beauty and drama at the same time at Scurlock Farms!

Droplets of water on a spider’s web look like diamonds. A little green bug got caught and out came the spider to wrap the bug up and have a future dinner!

Dan is leading a frantic mama goat to the barn as he holds her newborn baby. Coyotes have taken 34 goats in the past few months!

This Black Vulture was sitting on an old sharecropper’s home on Scurlock Farms. They don’t smell so hang out with the American Vultures. The Black Vulture has silver on his wing tips, where the American Vulture has silver all the way down the wing.

This hen just laid an egg in a pile of leaves in the carport. When she saw me, she started picking up leaves in her beak and throwing them behind her – as if she were hiding them from me! Three other hens also liked the new spot and left their eggs in the leaves.

It was a little crowded on Dan’s work bench with three large hens competing for space! The egg being rolled around ended up on the floor! 3 eggs survived.

These beautiful birds did not like it when I stopped on the Little Mankin’s bridge a couple of miles from Scurlock Farms. Yesterday I saw 10 Great Blue Herons on nests at their foolery on Scurlock Farms, along with many Double Created Cormorants and about 20 Snowey Egrets. Love this time of the year!!

This Mockingbird was about 5′ from me on the Polaris as we cleaned a burn pile in the top pasture. Did you know 2/3 of all birds seen in Texas are seen in Williamson County? Scurlock Farms is a bird watchers delight with heavy woods, prairie, and wetlands along the river.
