Stephen > The black chinned hummingbirds were very active the weekend I visited Los Madrones Ranch.  They especially liked the nectar left for them at the feeders.  This one pauses before taking another drink.  Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > This is one of the images I captured at Los Madrones Ranch.  It is a black chinned hummingbird at one of the feeders.  It is also sticking its tongue out probably getting some nectar off of its beak.  Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > Here is a nice side view of the rufous crowned sparrow that stayed very close to the morning blind at Los Madrones Ranch.  Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > This is but one of the many loud western scrub jays I saw at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas.  The one bad aspect about this bird is that it is so aggressive plus it will depredate nesting black chinned hummingbirds.  April 2008
Stephen > This very boisterous and aggressive western scrub jay took time to get some water at a feeding station at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > I like this image because it shows the back plumage well of this rufous crowned sparrow.  It also highlights the long tail that this species of sparrow has.  This photo was taken at one of the feeding stations at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas.  April 2008.
