A very secretive marsh bird - a lucky tip (and more than a little waiting) helped me nail this shot.

A skulky but bright yellow warbler, best seen during fallouts on High Island in my experience!

In Texas we have very few red birds that aren't cardinals, so these flashy birds stand out. Often hidden in the canopy, the boardwalk at Smith Oaks makes them relatively easy to photograph.

While watching a drip at Sabine Woods in East Texas, I watched this Green Heron snatch a bullfrog from a small pond right in front of me!

These birds are some of our showiest warblers, often moving to the ends of branches for great views.

Brightly colored but relatively shy, orioles always brighten up a spring birding day.

Unlike the very active warblers, vireos move slowly and deliberately when feeding, making nice poses relatively easy (if you can spot them!)
