Stephen > I am almost certain that this is a female dickcissel.  Well, I know it is a dickcissel, but I am just not sure if it is a juvenile or female.  Being that this image was taken in spring and the males are out singing to attract the females, I am going with my female identification.  Midlothian, Texas, May 2009

Stephen > This was one of the few times I could capture a golden cheeked warbler on somewhat of a clear perch.  This one was feeding on the seeds that you see and, in fact, if you look closely below the beak of the bird, you can see a seed falling.  Los Madrones Ranch, Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > This image was actually captured by my wife using my back-up camera.  I think she did a great job and it was the only good shot of a whooping crane in flight that we got the whole day.  November 20, 2007, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas.

Stephen > This juvenile whooping crane was really digging in the mud, as was its parent, searching for crustaceans primarily or if it got lucky, a blue crab.  Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > I am trying to work on obtaining images of these graceful fliers feeding from plants.  Here, I was fortunate enough to obtain this image of a ruby throated hummingbird getting nectar from a Lantana plant in my backyard.  Midlothian, Texas, August 2008
