Nature lover, birder. All photos, except reposts, are mine unless otherwise noted. 🐦‍⬛📷 No DM please.
The smallest bird in the US, the Calliope hummingbird, to mark this #SmallBirdSaturday. A true wonder of nature, and I really hope to see another one of these beauties!

Three warbler species while sipping coffee in the kitchen. I know it's no big deal for a lot of people out there, but where I am in the city, this made my day :)

I wish this guy had perched closer to where I was, but that was the right kind of branch for me to get a look at the usually hard to see red belly of the Red-bellied woodpecker.

I resent the unfounded accusation that I was digging in your planter.

Saw this Red-bellied woodpecker apparently resting wedged in that small space between branches. Not his better angle... but he looked comfy!

This beautiful Orange-crowned warbler was in my backyard just yesterday looking for food. So it's my pick for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #warblers.

When you're building a nest, every stick matters. Here, Mr. Snowy was bringing home his latest find. Mrs. Snowy took a look and accepted it.
I watched these beautiful birds for a long time as they worked together to build their nest. Truly awesome.

A Bronzed cowbird for the #BirdOfTheDay theme, #birdonawire At first, a black bird sitting on a wire read like just another one of so many grackles on power lines. Happened to be a lifer I wasn't even searching for. Always take a second look!

Until this Northern cardinal perched right there, I hadn't noticed the gold and orange leaves in the background. He made the scene come alive.

A Great blue heron and a Little blue heron. Pretty sure it's clear who's who on this little island in the lake.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme, #waders, here's a Glossy ibis I saw today. Apparently, it needed to preen in the very spot where some ducks were resting. So, after a couple of complaints, the ducks decided it was easier to make room for it and try to sleep.

Every day, as the lake gets drier, the search for apple snails gets harder for the Limpkins. When one of them finds a good spot for foraging, where there's still water, they don't take kindly to competition!

I hope that two #BirdoftheDay posts are not one too many, because this cutie is begging to be called #round. Absolutely love Blue-gray gnatcatchers 💙

Today I was treated to a beautiful scene where two Great blue herons were engaged in courtship displays. They were so graceful! In the end, the female decided to fly to the other end of the lake, and the male went back to preening. Must be ready for the next opportunity!

This beautiful ibis had been on my wish list for a while. There are three ibis species that can be found here in Texas, but the Glossy was so elusive!
