Took a quick visit to east Texas for a conference and got to go on a mini birding trip where I saw a lot of species that I hadn't seen in person before like this Dark-eyed junco!

A plump Carolina Wren perches on a weathered wooden fence post, its warm brown plumage and bold white eyebrow stripe in sharp focus against a soft olive-green background.
A Carolina wren in our backyard. Not quite as sharp as I'd like, had the shutter speed set a bit too low for the 600mm lens I was using. Austin, Texas, USA. March 4th, 2026.

I love seeing woodpeckers around. Spotted this Downy Woodpecker this morning at the shop.
But I was really surprised and delighted to spot this Eastern Bluebird at the shop today!

Tried some new ways of editing to help bring out the colors on this great-tailed grackle.

These were some cool shots that I got of some Yellow-Rumped Warblers in my area! These guys are so difficult to get photos of, but so adorable.

I have a number of photos of birds that have caught my taking their photos, but this one is by far the funniest because of the head tilt.
