I found this Black Crowned Heron nesting with a group of cattle egrets on an island in the Sheldon Reservoir. They are just getting started so I plan to visit frequently over the next month or so and see if I can get some baby birds!

One of the most beautiful birds in nature...the Wood Duck

Sunrise and sunset are some of my favorite times to be on the beach. The lighting can  produce some great images. I managed to get the shadow on this one.

This is a great time of year along the gulf coast. The weather has been outstanding! Get your camera and head out and enjoy. Summer will be here before you know it!

Duck Hunting

I was out hunting with the Nikon this week and shot a few....

                                                              Northern Shoveler

                                                           Northern Shoveler Pair

                                         
                                                                      Ring-Necked Duck

Coopers Hawk

I was in my home office this week and saw a flash along the ground and all the birds scatter! This Juvenile Coopers Hawk was out looking for an easy breakfast. He sat in the tree right outside my office just long enough for me to get a shot through the  window.

Barred Owl

We recently put up some owl houses and here is our target market! This old guy looks like he could use a nice resting spot other than the ROAD!

We need to get him from here...

To here.........

Thanks Anna for the photo!
