I went kayaking this morning with a couple of young men that are kind enough to let me hang out with them. While they weren’t really all that interested in the birds they were quite tolerant and waited patiently and quietly while I took photos. I really enjoy taking photos of birds from a kayak.…

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 got up early the other morning and drove out to Spring Canyon at Lake Meredith and walked around the several ponds there. It was a beautiful morning, especially for the last week of winter and I was lucky enough to get several nice photos. Enjoy. Cinnamon Teal and Blue-winged Teal Ruddy Duck female Belted…
Buffalo Lake NWR is a mostly dry lake bed in Randall Co in the Texas Panhandle. There is a large pond still on the southern end of the Reserve with a bird blind and a few trails on the northern end. We used to go out there when I was in college for keg parties…
I haven’t posted in a few weeks so I thought I’d catch up with a pretty large photo dump. I’ve been birding quite a lot but for some reason can’t seem to bring myself to do the drudge work of editing and posting. Meredith is up over 64 feet for the first time in nearly…
The last few weeks have been a little hectic for me and I haven’t been able to go birding as much as I want. It seems that the days that I could get out were dark and dreary days with heavy clouds and lots of rain. The rain was pretty wide-spread and Meredith certainly benefited…
The playas and fields around here seem to have the most bird action right now, what with the corn being harvested and the milo harvest about to start. Here’s a few shots from earlier in the week. Black-crowned Night-Heron Black-crowned Night-Heron and White-faced Ibis. American Coot Ruddy Duck
OK, I admit it, I’m not doing a very good job at keeping this blog up to date. It’s just that, well, it’s summer, you know. And not just summer, but one of the nicest summers we’ve had in a while. Summers over the last decade or so have been miserable affairs. They’ve been hot…
We’ve not had a lot of sunshine this week and the last 2 days have been especially dark and blustery. We haven’t had a lot of snow, just a dusting, but it’s been very cold. I did make a couple of trips to Meredith, but the light was so bad that the photo’s lost most…
