An Aplomado Falcon with Prey in Cameron County, Texas

On October 30, 2013 By Steve
The other day, I took a break from taking pictures of migrants and snapped shots of one my favorite subjects, the Aplomado Falcon.

Still Lots of Migrants and other Wildlife Photo Opps at South Padre Island

On October 23, 2013 By Steve
Migration continues to be good at South Padre Island as well as at Resaca de la Palma State Park in north Brownsville. The more birds there are, the better your chances of getting good shots. While I didn’t get stellar photos of  Rose-breasted grosbeak, Couch’s Kingbird, Nashville Warbler, and  Gray Catbird, I did get niceContinue Reading

Lots of Birds on South Padre Island Last Weekend

On October 21, 2013 By Steve
Fall migrants don’t just fly up into the night sky and wing their way south whenever they feel like it. They need to eat enough to have the reserves necessary for flying hundreds of miles and even when they have more than enough fat reserves, still don’t take chances with the weather.

Fall Migration Goes on in South Texas

On October 8, 2013 By Steve
As in many other parts of the country, large numbers of fall migrants pass through South Texas as cold fronts hit the area. Since that cooler weather brings the birds with it, it’s always a good idea to go birding when the weather makes a change. I caught some of that cold front migration onContinue Reading

More Beautiful Birds on South Padre Island and a Mystery Animal

On October 4, 2013 By Steve
It’s hard to stay away from South Padre Island during migration because the site attracts such a wide variety of waterbirds and passerine migrants. The birds come and go from one day to the next so it’s worth it to keep going back to this hotspot. Although I didn’t find any rarities on my latestContinue Reading
