Had a small bit of rain in our area recently, so I went out to some agri fields west of #CorpusChristiTX to see what I could find. There were a decent number of Upland Sandpipers. #Birds #Nature.
A group of these Plovers were working the waterline on the Laguna Madre yesterday.
Although Willets have a drab coloration when they are walking along the shoreline, in flight the contrasting dark and light colorations give a striking look.
This pale and small shorebird was hanging out by itself in the area near the waterline.
Little Blue Heron was working the shallows for some food, walking around and striking the water when some prey fish is near.

Anyone here good at Morse Code? Trying to see if this Armadillo is sending out a message with that rapid firing of its tongue. 😍 #Nature #CorpusChristiTX

Only in the mid 30s in #CorpusChristiTx but colder temps always remind me how strong and resilient hummingbirds are. This Rufous Hummingbird has been visiting for a week and colder temps are coming. Hope it continues. #Birds #RingCam
This Burrowing Owl was near a culvert by a county road in Chapman Ranch, west of Corpus Christi.
Can you see me behind this plant? Burrowing Owl in the Ag fields west of #CorpusChristiTx. #Birds

The beak of the Groove-billed Ani is always fun to see.

When a second Ani flew in and landed right next to the other, a bit of preening began.
This pic of the 2 Anis almost looks posed as this sit on a tree branch with smaller limbs in front. Has an ethereal vibe to it.
The other day at a nearby patch I caught some movement that was a Groove-billed Ani. This time I didn’t hear its striking call. Turned out there were 2 deep in the tree cover. #CorpusChristiTx #Birds

The water and sky a few mornings ago looked like a painting. This was near a he Packery Channel Jetties in #CorpusChristiTx.
Here are two Crested Caracara perched on the top of a power pole while a juvenile was perched on a different pole nearby.
This Burrowing Owl was giving me the evil eye to ensure I didn’t come near its burrow area.
This shy Kestrel was always flying from the line before I got anywhere close. Just had to shoot long distance and then get out the cropper. 🤓
Very pale Red-tailed Hawk hung on on the line till it got bothered and flew off.
A few predators from the other day in the agricultural area west of #CorpusChristiTX. #Birds Crested Caracara, Burrowing Owl, American Kestrel, and Red-tailed Hawk.

I was scanning the thousands of ducks on this small pond when one of the cleaning crew, this Turkey Vulture, made some passes by my side of the pond. Interesting looking bird. #CorpusChristiTx #Birds
The instant the Curlew grabbed the crab was the moment it flared its wings.

Success! Long-billed Curlew using that extra long beak to capture a small crab for a morning snack. #CorpusChristiTX #Birds.
This Long-billed Curlew was crouched and speeding toward the left. Maybe it spotted some prey, as it soon had a small crab in its beak.
This Long-billed Curlew was giving off those Greater Roadrunner vibes as it hurried over to its next bite. #CorpusChristiTx #Birds

In the early morning fog the other day, visibility was very poor. Maybe these Red-breasted Mergansers took some pity on me and came very close to the shore to give me a couple photo opps. #CorpusChristiTX #Birds.

Decided to go out a few days ago to try some #BirdingWhileFoggy. I was hoping the weather would clear fairly soon to open up to some wider views. It didn’t happen as I planned so had to cut my morning short. #CorpusChristiTX.
This Burrowing Owl is standing guard over its culvert. It has been loyal there for some time and I usually see it standing on my drives past that area.
If you’re wondering if this owl nests underground, yes it does. This Burrowing Owl takes a different approach than other owls. Here, it has claimed a culvert for its residence in a ag area west of #CorpusChristiTx. #Birds
