Beautiful Texas Birds in Flight

On January 29, 2013 By Steve
Getting good images of birds in flight has always been a challenge. Although improved camera technologies have made it much, much easier to take quality photos of birds in flight, it still requires a fair amount of practice and just plain old good luck. It helps, though, when you have thousands of subjects to work with. Plan your shots, shootContinue Reading

A Brief Update on Recent Birding in and near Laguna Atascosa NWR

On January 27, 2013 By Steve
One could say that my stomping grounds or “patch” for birding and bird photography are the wetlands and subtropical habitats of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. This fantastic site has so many bird and wildlife viewing opportunities that it’s just hard to not visit. A recent trip to the refuge was typically good and is an indicationContinue Reading

Yes, there are Ocelots in the Lower Rio Grande Valley

On January 22, 2013 By Steve
One of the most important and endangered animals to occur in the Lower Rio Grande Valley is probably the animal that no one sees. Well, I have actually seen it but since that special occasion has happened just three times over the course of 16 years, I think it’s safe to say that you have to be luckyContinue Reading

Wild in Willacy County, Texas

On January 19, 2013 By Steve
Willacy County is where I do a lot of my bird and animal photography. There are days when its wetlands, coastal habitats, and subtropical, scrubby vegetation seem to be filled with ducks, wading birds, and other species. Mammal watching and photography can be good too, especially for big, Texan White-tailed Deer. Willacy County has a lot of good habitat for deer and itContinue Reading

Some Recent Wildlife Photography Highlights from the Lower Rio Grande Valley

On January 14, 2013 By Steve
Recent photography forays into the subtropical habitats of southern Texas have been very productive. The other day, I am pretty sure that I saw more raptors than I have ever seen in a span of 4 hours. I must have seen 25 White-tailed Hawks, Harris’s Hawks, American Kestrels, Crested Caracaras, and even an Eastern Screech Owl! Although I didContinue Reading

Beautiful Waterbirds in Southern Texas

On January 4, 2013 By Steve
The lagoons and coastal estuaries of southeastern Texas are rich habitats filled with life. This is why I spend so much time there for photography. Sometimes, it seems like no matter where you look, there is a heron, alligator, or Osprey just waiting to be photographed. White Ibis are commonly seen. With its bald, reddish head, face, and long, decurvedContinue Reading

A Few Brightly Colored Birds of the Lower Rio Grande Valley

On January 2, 2013 By Steve
There are dozens of beautifully colored bird species in Texas and many of them can be seen in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. I see a virtual rainbow of colors just about every time I go birdwatching in southernmost Texas and it’s hard not to take pictures of birds when you see species like the Golden-frontedContinue Reading
