Busted!
He caught me taking his photo as he flew around.

Beautiful Pair Of Mallards
What a sweet scene. She might be sitting on a nest, but she never got up & showed me. I didn't disturb them.

Lesser Yellowlegs Taking A Bath
Nice of it to do this while I was there. Just wish it had not been so cloudy.

FOS Green Heron
FOS means first of season. First one I've seen this year. It was way up high on a tree top.

Suet Wars
Every now and then we have a bit of drama at the suet basket. This time it was 3 ladies disagreeing over who was first in line. I don't often get to see the red on the female wings.

They're Back
The males have returned to the wetlands in North Texas & are singing to claim their territory.

Posing In A Tree
He was taking a break from foraging on the ground. No leaves or sticks in the way this time.

First Bath In The New Fountain
Figures it was a robin. They do love a good bath. They don't like to share either & I noticed there were no other birds there while the robin was having his bath.

Turtle Reflection
Calm, serene, peaceful...a happy place.

Love those long yellow legs. All the migrating shorebirds seem to love foraging in the shallow water and mud. This lake attracts a lot of migrants fueling up for their trip.

Such A Beautiful Bird!
The stunning colors really pop amongst the spring green. We only see these beautiful birds briefly as they migrate thru twice a year.

Spring In Texas
There are lots of wildflowers showing up now, but I keep coming back to the bluebonnets.

Spring Wildflowers Are Popping Up All Over
This is my favorite time of year. Birds are migrating back and wildflowers are blooming. And my favorite color is the green of all that new spring growth.

Shore Bird Reflection
Mirror, mirror, on the lake...any food down there?

Frack Watching A Squirrel
Yesterday morning I went outside to say hello to Frack. However, all her attention was on the squirrel foraging below her.

The Seeds Are Obviously Better Up There
Even birds think the grass is always greener on the other side.

This one is for the spider
Spidey Snack
Teeny Tiny spider with a big web in my shrubs caught a nice little fly for a snack.

Fourteen Days & Counting
Over the last couple of days, Frack has started staying out of sight inside the house more. I'm still hopeful but not holding my breath.

Picture Perfect...Except For The Feet
Someone forgot to clean their feet before their photo session.

I love this time of year. Spring shorebird migration & pretty water colors.

Tiny Finch, Giant Sunflower Seed
He carefully looked over all the seeds & selected the biggest one. Then flew off with it.

A Pair Of Pectoral Sandpipers
They were just casually strolling thru the muddy water. I love spring when the shore birds drop by during migration.

A Texas Tradition
They are popping up all over DFW. Always have to get a few shots every Spring. As a native Texan, I have tradition to uphold.

After Drink Launch In 3,2,1...
Got that moment right before she flew.

This Guy Has Seen Some S_ _ _ _!
Something traumatic happened to this siskin. It lost its tail. Barely starting to grow back. A survivor. Living its best life with a mouthful of nyjer seeds.
