Well, once again I’ve managed to not post anything for several months. My only excuse it laziness-I go birding nearly every morning that I’m not working, but processing photos is really a pain in the ass and so I let it build up until it is really daunting. It has really not been all that…
I saw this Green Heron at Spring Canyon a few days ago. They are migrants through here each fall and spring. They aren’t very big, only about a foot and a half tall with their neck stretched out and they weigh about half a pound. This one was preening, although he did make a grab…

This lone Cattle Egret was hunting at Bugbee earlier this month. In the past there have been pretty large rookeries of these birds around the lake,but I’ve not run across any this year. They like to follow cattle around and eat the bugs that the cows stir up while grazing.
I saw this Western Grebe pair a couple of weeks ago while paddling in Lake Meredith’s Martin Canyon.

Black-crested Titmouse Rufous-crowned Sparrow House Finch White-winged Dove Northern Cardinal male and female Lark Sparrow Cliff Swallow at…

I finally got around to editing the photos from the last 3 months and so, here ya go. All the photos were taken at Lake Meredith unless otherwise noted. American Avocets. These are among my favorite birds. How can you not love a bird with blue legs and a snooty bill? American Pipit. These aren’t…
