I had great morning light and planned to get some tight portraits of this bird. Enter two very loud guys on bikes. At least I got a few wider shots like this. Beautiful bird.

As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
Now come say that to my face canoe boy and see what happens!
I did take a trip to Brazos Bend State Park (BBSP) just south of Houston last week and although I went in search of birds the animal that was most visible was the resident lizard! Since there are approximately 250 alligators in the park they are EXTREMELY easy to find at this time of the year! The major problem is trying to keep an eye on all of them and not back up into one while trying to take a photo of the other! The gravel paths surrounding the lakes are about 15 to 20 feet wide and you will notice that they are not bashful about climbing out of the water on onto the paths! They say to turn around and go back in the other direction but most people walk around them! It’s a bit unnerving and never feels comfortable and especially when you encounter on that is over 9 feet long! The good news is that no one has ever been attacked at BBSP and people walk around them all the time! If you are queasy about being in their presence then BBSP is not the place for you!

Yesterday morning I got a very brief look at a bobcat at Brazos Bend State Park. I was pretty far away and the time was short, but I was able to get a few shots off. Not great photography, but a lot of fun. 10/18/2016
Last weekend we spent some time at a great horned owl nest at Brazos Bend State Park. We were late to the show, as the owlets are close to fledging. This image shows one of the parents in a nearby tree. I'll post more as I go through the images. SE Texas-3/2019

Sometimes it's nice to step back a bit, and see the whole picture (as messy as it can be). Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. 5/2020

Spots still open for the Texas Landscape Safari this Fall. Come to Texas and join us this October.
The ability of these birds to stretch their necks, and the agility they display when doing so, are quite impressive.
I spent a few hours watching this bird hunt the shallow water. While the process was dramatic, the catches were pretty tiny (albeit many).
