Came down at 9 am to burn piles of dead limbs in 20 acre pecan orchard. A huge flock of Starlings flew into the freshly mown orchard. Love hearing their cheery chatter as they flirted around!
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.
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.
Watch a pair of Scissor-tail Flycatchers dive bomb, attack and intimidate a pair of vultures. Talk about David and Goliath! Come stay with us at Scurlock Farms in one of our three vacation rental homes and see abundant wildlife and birds up close!
