Same story, different month. I haven’t posted in a while, don’t know why, just can’t seem to get around to processing photos. Birding and taking photographs is fun. processing them is not. But, it’s snowing and I couldn’t think of anything else to do, so here’s a bunch of birds from September and October. Swainson’s…
Here is an American Avocet foraging in the shallow water and mud on the east end of the Stillin’ Basin at Lake Meredith’s Spring Canyon. Avocets are odd looking birds with their upturned bills, bright blue legs, black and white bodies and wings, and rusty heads and necks. This solitary bird is a bit unusual,…
I was out on Plum Creek Road in southeastern Moore Countyk a few weeks ago to take photos of the Cactus Wrens that are nesting there when a Curve-billed Thrasher dropped by. The Cactus Wren was in no mood for company and the two squabbled for several minutes before the thrasher moved on.
Here’s a series photos I took of a Snowy Egret hunting at Lake Meredith’s Bugbee Canyon. Most of the photos were taken one morning in early August but the last 3 photos were taken at the last of August. I don’t know if it was the same bird or not. Love the yellow feet.

Cactus Wrens aren’t normally found in the area and actually, until my friend reported them on Saturday,…
Here’s a series of photographs of an immature Common Loon that’s been hanging out at Lake Meredith’s Spring Canyon this week. He’s all alone but that doesn’t stop him from practicing displaying. It’s a little unusual to see them this late in the spring.
May in the Texas Panhandle is a great time for birders. The summer residents are arriving and there are still a lot of migrants passing through. Here’s a few photos of some of the birds I came across around Hutchinson County last Month. Burrowing Owl Red=winged Blackbird male and female Wilson’s Phalarope Three American Avocets…
Migration is in full swing. Here are a few birds that I see every year, but they are still a bit unusual. Marbled Godwit Willets American Pipits Common Loon. Sorry, the photos aren’t that great, it was really overcast and they were a long way off. These are summer residents Western…
