Thank you Kevin. That is exactly what I thought but I have a policy that I always confirm a bird that is new to me. Sadly, I am sometimes wrong. Thanks for the ID and the laugh.

Galveston. thanks

Someone saw a willow in the same location two days ago. No alders reported for three weeks. The bird was not making any noise.

Some help with this please Then please confirm Swainsons Hawk thanks

No, he was along the side of the road. We pulled over to see him but couldn't stay to observe. He was a beautiful bird. Thanks for the help with the ID. I thought it was a Reddish but have never seen one before.

Last week Anahuac, Texas Same bird, slightly different view

I was afraid of that. I'm really not good at bird calls but it didn't sound like an American Crow. That was actually what started me wondering.
