Look who I saw tonight

Rosiette Spoonbill

Song Sparrow with treat

Painted Buntings

Laguana Atatsco NWR, near Rio Hondo, Texas. The welcome center has a small waterfall and pool which attracted many species of birds. This was my 1st opportunity to photograph Painted Buntings at close range.

Couches Kingbird

Taken at Laguana Atasco National Wildlife Preserve, I was driving the loop and he perched on a limb in the afternoon light,

Big Blue & fish

This big fellow was given a saltwater catfish from a fisherman and it took about 30 minutes for him to figure out how to position it for swallowing, but he finally managed!

Reddish Egrets

One of my favorite birds to observe and photograph is the Reddish Egret, it also comes in a White Morph phase which is also shown in this slideshow. The animated way with which they fish is very comical to watch.

Some more blues

from Texas, I am still trying to figure out the slideshow thing and have decided to start posting some photos from the trip

Yellow Throated Vireo

I seen this beauty a couple of days ago at Gebhard Woods in Morris.
