I don't particularly like getting up early, but I'm usually happy that I did. Last Saturday started out pretty foggy. I'm glad I was up and out to see it. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. 7/2018
An #alligator hunting in the duck weed at #BrazosBendStatePark. It is so interesting, yet deadly the way the alligator hunts its prey. They can look exactly like logs floating in the water, with only their eyes and their nose peeking out of the water. If you look closer, you can see its nose hole.
This year, like the past few, there were two owlets in the Brazos Bend nest. This image is from the first day that I saw an owlet (others had seen two a few days earlier). This was a cold, dark day in February, and the owlets spent most of the day nestled under mom's wings. I spent 6 or so hours watching, for a few glimpses of an owlet. In this image, the tiny owlet is peaking out from beneath mom's wing. The patterned feathers are mom's, draped over the little one. Unfortunately, much of mom is hidden behind a large branch and leaves. Part of her beak is visible upper left. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 2/2022.

I thought that this flower and pose made this one of my cutest wildlife photos I've ever taken, of course that my opinion hahaha this is a juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron at Brazos Bend State Park, Texas.
The fog was very dense when we arrived at the Park on this particular morning. The sun burned through and created an interesting mix of warmly lit foliage and cold fog. The photographer pictured here passed me and quickly disappeared into the fog.

A Tricolored Heron that stalked its quarry patiently comes up with a small fish. It wasn’t catching large prey, but made up with steady success. This scene unfolded in Brazos Bend State Park near Houston, Texas, USA. It was raining at the time.
Are you green with envy at that mouth?? You could put a lot of cake in that thing. Lol, this mouth was huge and those TEETH??!! No wonder these big gators are dangerous. I was hiking at Brazos Bend State Park and enjoying the peace that is felt when I am outdoors when I came across this alligator.
Deer drop and regrow their antlers each year. The velvet stage of antler development occurs in spring/summer, before the antlers calcify. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 5/2022.
I've watched this nest for about a month and it's been a treat. This one is from last weekend.

When I first came across the little barred owls it was early morning, and pretty dark. I decided to make a short video. I didn't handle it as well technically as I wish I had, but I think it's still fun. If you have sound, it's worth turning it up.

I believe this is a juvenile Great White Egret...but when they are this young I am not the best at identification. I got this photo at Brazos Bend State Park, Texas.
While hiking I seen a family of alligators at Brazos Bend State Park. There were about 9 or 10 babies and the mama. These 2 babies were hanging out together.
I was thrilled to learn the park has owlets again this year. I made one trip to photograph them, and hope I can work the time to make a few more visits. They have quite a few coot (I think) feathers up there with them, likely meal remnants. Light was little, so this is higher ISO than I like to use. For owlets, I push it! ISO 3200, 1/80, f6.3.
