Stephen > This is was one of the juvenile whooping cranes we saw near its parents at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, November 20, 2007, near Rockport, Texas. The red area on its bill is actually a wildflower I believe that stuck to the bill while it was foraging. This was one of the few shots I was actually able to make with my camera. It's amazing how much brown is on these juveniles considering how white their plumage is as adults.
Stephen > Late in the day, probably around 6:30pm, I finally was fortunate enough to see a great kiskadee arrive at blind #3 at the Martin Refuge. It drank water, took some seed and gave me a few nice perches. Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > It is always nice when you know that your children are actually paying attention to you. I have been watching these Mississippi Kites since they arrived at the end of the April. My kids have heard me talking about them and I have showed them my pictures of them as well. Today, as my son and I were driving through the area where the kites nest, one flew right in front of our vehicle. My son shouted, "Look Dad! A Mississippi Kite!" What do you know? He actually listens to me. This picture is one from the series after I quickly pulled off to the side of the road and began snapping pictures. Midlothian, Texas, May 2008.
Stephen > This river otter decided to give me a few good poses. This one was photographed at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas, November, 2007.
Stephen > Balancing act....this yellow billed cuckoo, which usually prefers to be high in the tree tops, surprised me by coming down and perching on a dead plant's stump. The day was very hot so the need for water outweighed this cuckoo's desire to stay hidden. Javelina Ranch, Peñitas, Texas, June 2009
Stephen > Even though they are not native to the United States but to Mexico, these green parakeets are very well established in the Brownsville area. I suppose they could have started as escaped exotics, but many believe some migrated naturally to the Brownsville area given its proximity to Mexico. In fact this image is about 700 feet from the border on Washington Ave. Brownsville, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > This is an image of one of two pyrrhuloxia that I saw on the Martin Refuge. Additionally, this is the only one that would come out of the shadows. Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > It was cloudy and had been raining most of this day, but when I saw this Mississippi Kite perched low on a branch, I didn't want to pass up this opportunity to photograph it. Midlothian, Texas, May 2008.
Stephen > This is a Black Crowned Night Heron juvenile from the University of Soutwestern Medical Center Rookery site, Dallas, Texas, July 2007.
