I got up early one morning last week and headed out to the lake. I had seen a Western Tanager pair at Bugbee the day before and was unable to get a photo of them then and I wanted to try again. Unfortunately, I did not come across the tanagers, but I did get some…
I took the kayak out onto Meredith yesterday morning and paddled around for a couple of hours. It was cool and there was a little fog and no wind. Here’s a few photos from the lake. The little Clark’s Grebes chicks are nearly grown. I took these photos before the fog had lifted near Martin…

I’m finally starting to see some waterfowl around Lake Meredith. Unfortunately, since the lake is up 20 feet from last year this time, it is nearly impossible to get good shots of them. The current water level puts the south end of the lake (where most water birds like to stay because of the shallows…
Here’s a few photos of some of the late winter waterfowl I’ve seen in the last week or so. Redheads and Lesser Scaups at Spring Canyon. American Wigeons at Thompson Park in Amarillo Mallards and a hybrid Mallard or Manky Duck. The hybrid is possibly a cross between an Mallard (note the curly tail feathers…
I took a few photos at a park in Amarillo a few days ago. I had stopped there on a whim as I was running a few errands. For some reason ducks and geese have been scarce at Meredith for the last several weeks. I saw more waterfowl here and at McGee Lake just northeast…
Here’s a few more photos from the last 5 or 6 weeks of 2013. I failed my resolve to post more often. I could cite a number of reasons but they would just be rationalizations. Basically, I’m just lazy and there are too many things to do instead of this. I go out birding…
I usually go birding alone. There are a couple of reasons; I enjoy being alone for one, and the rest of my family aren’t early risers for another. I occasionally invite my wife or one of the kids to go with me and when they do we have a great time. I invited my wife…
I spent the first two mornings of 2013 at Lake Meredith. The last week has been pretty cold and we had a little storm on New Year’s Eve so there was a great deal of ice on the lake. Several of the ponds in Spring Canyon were frozen. The last two mornings have been cold…
