Help Please, Flycatcher, Southeastern Arizona, USA
In an exceptionally political move, I retract my previous statement. I'd never seen a Western Wood-Pewee with quite so much yellow in its bill. But after looking at some pictures online the structure is definitely wrong for an empid, and the amount of yellow in the lower mandible seems...- TorchBCT

Help Please Southeast Arizona, USA
Female Hepatic Tanager would match with the coloration, the gray eyeline/auriculars, bill shape and size. It's also in range for southeastern AZ.- TorchBCT

Help Please, Flycatcher, Southeastern Arizona, USA
I'm admittedly poor with flycatchers, but I dont see why it couldnt be a Gray Flycatcher. Overall its a low contrast bird, has the pale lower mandible, and comparatively short primary projections, plus the wing bars are faint, although that could be an effect of the photo...- TorchBCT

Thanks for the response Motmot, I'd only ever seen the Common Nighthawk around here, and this surprised me this morning. Guess sometimes birds are literally right under your nose.- TorchBCT

Caprimulgus Species, Bell County, Texas
This Nightjar was on the steps leading up to my apartment, in a downtown residential area this morning. I believe it is a Whip-poor-will, but I have never seen anything to compare it to. When the bird flew, it had white edges on its tail, no white wing bars, and was generally rusty/brown on...- TorchBCT

Marian’s 2008 Butterflies
I thank you all for your kind comments on my photos. Sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn or two. ;) Drove back out to the park yesterday, but the conditions were misty and breezy with heavy cloud cover. Butterfly-wise managed to pick up the same pair of Eastern Black Swallowtails, a...- TorchBCT

Marian’s 2008 Butterflies
I have been lurking on this thread for awhile, reading the posts, and looking at the pictures; but as a neophyte butterfly observer, I've never really had anything to post. However, today I actually managed to get out of class early, and headed out to the lake to go birding. Long story short...- TorchBCT

How is your 2008 List Going?
Managed to get out today after class, surprisingly wasnt all that birdy, probably due to the 15 knot wind. Still managed to pick up three year birds, which breaks my personal record for fastest to the century mark. 99. Canada Goose 100. Cattle Egret 101. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher -
US Flowering Plant
A quick insightful response as usual, Salvia coccinea pictures match perfectly, and the species apparently occurs throughout Texas in sandy soils. I didn't realize it had as many common names as it did though, ranging from "blood sage" all the way through "Texas sage."- TorchBCT

US Flowering Plant
These pictures were taken in mid-March, at Goliad State Park in central Texas, There were several of these plants growing wild on the edges of a rocky outcropping. Any ideas on its identity?- TorchBCT
