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).

I loved this guy...such a character! Granted, this shot doesn't quite have the punch of the previous shot I posted...but he looks so proud of himself. Either that or wondering how he was going to get it down into his gullet!
Caught in between tosses of the crawfish.
Had a stare off with about an Eight Foot alligator. Sun was shining so bright this day that I think he looked for the shade. Brazos Bend State Park is famous for its alligators that sun right off the trails and walkways.
I was able to catch a few Whistling Ducks chilling on a log while hiking at Brazos Bend State Park in Needville Texas. They were keeping a very watchful eye on me. About 5 minutes later, 5 more ducks landed on the log, I would assume they were having a conference about the alligator problem at the state park hahaha
A Great Egret does battle with a water snake...the Egret eventually won, but not before the snake put up a good fight.

We visited my parents this weekend. We took one morning to see the wildlife at Brazos Bend State Park. This guy was growling...perhaps warning the other alligators that this was his spot.
This is a 17 photo panorama taken at the George Observatory in Brazos Bend State Park. Be sure to see it in large.

One more shot of this fellow. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas
There wasn't much light. Shot at ISO 3200 to get 1/125 wide open (f5.6). I probably wouldn't have even considered this shot with film or my early digital cameras.
This is one of two great horned owlets that live currently at Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, TX. It was the fuzziest, cutest little owl I've ever seen. I wanted to hug it!
Our granddaughter being helped with some close up wildlife viewing along Creekfield Lake at Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, TX.
My husband and I recently returned from visiting my parents in Houston. We were racking our brains trying to think of interesting places to photograph (we lived there before my parents moved to Houston, so we know it fairly well)...luckily, a photo from one of my Flickr friends reminded me that Brazos Bend State Park is nearby and full of wildlife. (Thanks, Matt!)
This Yellow-Crowned Night Heron was busy trying to down a crawfish when we arrived one morning. My husband thinks I'm picky, but I do wish my focus had been more spot on. I still really like it for the moment I caught.
Caught this Alligator taking a nap, sneaking some sun on the log...at Brazos Bend State Park, Needville, TX, he is about 8 foot long. Can see the tag placed in his tail by the park to track these guys.
