Black-bellied Whistling Ducks (Dendrocygna autumnalis) are often called "tree ducks" because of their habit to perch in trees, in this case surveying Elm Lake and my party of photographers! In fact, the genus name "Dendrocygna" literally means "tree swan". Though their feet are webbed, they have sharp claws. Photographed on the edge of Elm Lake, Brazos Bend State Park, Needville, Texas.
Now decommissioned, this lighthouse is situated at the confluence of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock.
It was worth getting my shoes wet.

I heard this fellow for about 30 minutes, hidden up in a tree singing his heart out. Perserverance paid off, as he finally came down to the back fence for a portrait.
The humble spuggie was the little bird that first sparked my interest in wildlife.

The long-tailed widowbird is a medium-sized bird and one of the most common in the territories it inhabits. Adult breeding males are almost entirely black with orange and white shoulders (epaulettes), long, wide tails, and a bluish-white bill. Females are rather inconspicuous, their feathers streaked tawny and black with pale patches on the chest, breast and back, narrow tail feathers, and horn-coloured bills.

Fairy-wrens enjoys a shrubby understory where they can move about in small groups and find safely from predators. They eat insects, fruits and berries, they also like to scratch through leaf litter where they find worms and other creatures.
Seldom still for more than a few seconds, Fairy-wrens are a challenge for any photographer. I got three passable shots from around 120 photos.

We have been very lucky to be able to walk every day through our local park as long we don't linger long or form crowds. So I take my long lens with me to practice capturing fast moving birds while I am passing through. It has been good practice and I am keeping up my fitness! I look forward to the day we can sit longer to watch the wildlife, especially when the temperatures warm up! I would like to find my peaceful perch to be just a watcher! The daylight is getting longer. That is a bonus!

This is one of the eagles favorite perches overlooking the Grand River, When driving into the park coming down the hill right before the parking lot you can see this tree to the left of the property. This is a favorite spot also for everyone to get a good view of the eagles.
