American Kestrel on top of an old light pole doing his morning stretches!!!

Common Nighthawk

This evening the sky was full of graceful soaring nighthawks.

Their white patches glistened in the setting sun.

Weaving in and out; up and down,

Truely a beautiful, peaceful sight to behold!

Their flight was so quick that to capture this picture is a blessing indeed!!

Welcome to Houston!

Baby mockingbird Friday morning on mark and nicole's fence

Morning 6:30

This Green Heron was slowly walking in the backyard this morning. Every now and then he would dig in the yard and pull up a frog for breakfast!!

Yellow Warbler

A warbler was in the lilac tree this morning.

Harris Sparrow

Great blue heron...

stands beautiful, stately, as the creek water so rapidly streams by at my brother's farm.

White-throated sparrow

Quick snapped a photo of this bird under the feeder. Either it was moving to fast or I was as he is a little blurred!! The markings on this bird are really striking.

Buzzard Meeting

This morning there were four turkey vultures out on the hill in the corn field. When I got home from church they were gone. Maybe they were gathering to praise the Great Creator.

Officially Spring!

My sister says it isn't officially spring until you see the red-wing blackbirds return!!

Northern Flicker

This is a male because of his black mustache!!
