Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary in Texas is a favorite wintering spot for American avocets. They congregate by the thousands here which can make for some awesome photography opportunities. I think they are one of the most elegant bird species out there.
Have a Blessed and relaxing Sunday!

This male vermillion flycatcher is a lifer for me. He was hanging around the entrance to Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge for a couple of days, which was nice because I could shoot out an open car window without spooking him too much. Unfortunately, he would not land in one of the trees that lined the fence. The tops of the chain link he is sitting on gives a great perspective of just how small these flycatchers are.
Have a great weekend!

After being disturbed from its morning meal, this golden eagle makes a flashy return to continue dining on a prairie dog.

One of my favorite shorebirds is the snowy plover. I've seen and photographed them in California, Florida and now Texas. Gotta figure out where I'm going to find them next!
