Went for a walk down the beach today and right where the beach path meets the dune we saw this piping plover doing it's broken wing dance. I knew that she had a nest or babies close by so we started looking where we stepped. We saw 4 babies hunkering down and then scurrying about. We snapped a few photos and then left as they are a threatened species and we did not want to harass. I fear that the chicks are doomed because of their tendency to hide in plain sight to avoid detection right in the middle of a footpath. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Went fishing yesterday and didn't bring a camera. Of course, nature knows when you're not prepared.

Saw a bald eagle sitting in about a foot of water in a beautiful flooded Everglades prairie, then I saw a cara cara rip apart a small bird in a dry area.

A pair of nighthawks followed me with a few "beernt!" calls, and one of 'em did some dive bombs with that weird vibrating boom sound. All I had was a cell phone for pics.



Finally, saw this family of turkeys while driving home. Made a u-turn to get another cell phone shot.


Definitely need to add a point & shoot to my console.

Update: My roadrunners lost their eggs - found both eggs broken, one on the ground and one still in the nest. A real bummer since I bought a trail cam and was going to hang it in the tree.

As a consolation, here are a couple of videos of a crow being dive-bombed by a mockingbird - got some use out of the trail cam after all.

Just on the off chance.. did you have a bad hail storm roll through your area like some places in Texas did a week ago? Could explain the eggs getting botched up.
Yes, and the eggs were broken the day after the storm. That is what probably did it.

Any thoughts on what this bird is? Picture is fuzzy but the bird is a hawk with light grey body and dark grey feathers. Very dark grey around the eyes.

Sorry about the picture quality! This is in the Waco area. The bird hung out for awhile so I got to look at him with the binos plenty. Massive bird! Mississippi Kite is what my search landed on also.

Found at the local park by the wife and kids. Pretty sure it was a crowned night heron fledgling but wanted to run it by you guys. It was in an area where a lot of crowned night herons nest and at least 0.5-1 mile from water.

This afternoon I went down the street from my house to an area I had previously seen a Greater Roadrunner. My patience paid off this time.

I had an idea for a shoot, and headed down SW of Millican this morning to the sunflower fields while they are still blooming.

Painted Bunting male on top of the sunflowers.

Anyone know what bird this is?


It was the size of a really big pigeon. I thought it was maybe a dove that got released at a wedding, but it was a lot bigger than any dove. In Duval Co.

Recently started getting into bird photography. I prefer stuff like landscape but since I pretty much find the landscapes around here boring, I've started to look for new things to photograph.
