Suellen, Amy, Alex and I drove up to Llano Seco and, on the way a single bald eagle flew overhead and disappeared to the south. A few miles later down the road a large adult red tailed hawk was photographed perched atop a road sign.
At Llano Saco we spent time photographing from the platform deck and then walked around the immediate area a little bit. Two more bald eagles were seen via a spotting scope as they perched in the same tree at least ½-mile to the west. There were several female harriers which were barely photographable. The waters around the platform were dominated by pintail ducks and coots. Also seen was a single Eurasian wigeon with its cinnamon brown head. A few American wigeons were also around with darker heads and a tan stripe down the face between the eyes.
As we got ready to pack up and leave, I photographed a cooperative western meadow lark atop a wildlife warning sign.
