What a wonderful shot!  Was that taken in the Christmas Mountains?

Outstanding!

The first and last are my picks.  It took me a few years of attempts before I got anything as nice as that first one.  Keep at it!

I had this chubby little Ruby-throat stop by my yard during fall migration last year to refuel at my feeders for a about a week before continuing her journey.  The Black-chins arrived about a ...

Outstanding photos as usual!  I haven't been to that location in a few years now but it is without question a special place.

Thank you for the kind words.

The birds showed up a couple of weeks ago but I usually let them get accustomed to my presence slowly before I start shooting them.  This is the first shot taken this year that I'll keep.

I have no personal experience with this product but I'm intrigued by the possibilities... essentially a folding chair covered by camo netting. https://www.ameristep.com/browse/ground-blinds/tent-ch ...

I have been to High Island several times but have never used the photo blind. However, if you find yourself in that area on a slow day for migrants, be sure to check out the rookery at Smith Oaks ...

Thanks.  I was pretty sure about them but I always like to get more than one opinion before I cross one off the list.

FYI - These were seen in central Texas about mid way between Austin and San Antonio.

Every year I try and check a few new species off the list.  I have been watching these two for several weeks and going over the field guides.  I believe the first one is Bewick's Wren. The next two ...

Even if you don't get another single image, I'd say you've already had a pretty successful year.  Nice shots!

I found those photos you posted of the S.C. Fox squirrel very interesting for the distinctive black and white coloration.  I hope you didn't take an offensive since I responded to only one of the ...

And both sets of photos taken with a Nikon D500.  Imagine that? Interesting to see species new to me.  All we have in central Texas are Ground Squirrels and the Eastern (Red) Fox Squirrel.  I ...

Chasing them around the yard has left me with mostly frustration.  I have found the easiest way to get an in-flight shot is a set-up.  Find a spot with good light and background and set up a ...

I don't post a lot of photos.  What I don't know about photography far exceeds what I do and I still have much more to learn. Here is my most recent post.  I had never seen a hummingbird this ...

Yes, and very entertaining to watch as well.  The best thing is that they come right into your yard to be photographed.  We have two species in my area and they are the subjects of 90% of my ...

Nice!
