Summer in Sugarite Canyon State Park
Adventures of a new birder from amarillo
Since I started birdwatching (the cool kids call it "birding") in January 2019, I've been trying to discern which sparrow is which, to figure out where to see a variety of birds in the Texas Panhandle, and to learn to compose beautiful pictures of the amazing wildlife I have encountered. This website is a record of that journey.
Thanks for visiting!
