Stephen > I just love the fact that there are several nesting pairs of Mississippi Kites that have chosen an area of my hometown to which they return each summer.  This is one sub-adult I believe that recently returned after spending the fall and winter down south.  Midlothian, Texas, May 2008.
Stephen > Photographed November 20, 2007 on the small outer islands at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas.   It was toward the end of the tour when we finally found some whooping cranes close to the shore with sone decent light even though the light produced some dark shadows.  The flock had just arrived from its breeding grounds in northern Canada.  Barrier Island in the Texas Intracoastal Highway near Rockport, Texas, November 2007
Stephen > The green jays were plentiful, loud and active on the cold, blustery day I visited the Fennessey Ranch along the Texas Central Coast.  I like the raised crest on this green jay.  Near Bayside, Texas, December 2008
Stephen > I prefer natural perches but I do like the texture present on this old, painted fence post that is losing its luster.  The bluebird is one of the ones that are nesting in my yard this winter and spring.  Midlothian, Texas, March 2009
Stephen > This is an American Coot photographed at Lynn Creek Marina on Lake Joe Pool on the Grand Prairie,Texas side, January 2008.

Stephen > This is another nice perch from one of the many green jays I saw while on my trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley.  Like other jays they are boisterous birds, but smaller than most jays and do not seem as aggressive.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
