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!

Thank you.  Those two came out nicely and I'm happy with the results.  I will go out and try again this morning.

Thanks.  They don't all turn out as well as these two but just trying to get a successful shot is half the fun.  The other half is just sitting outside and watching them.

I keep a wildlife dairy of sorts where I record the dates of what I see.  My earliest record of a hummingbird in my yard was on March 12.  It was a Black-chinned.  This species breeds in my area ...

Thank you Mike.   The hummingbirds have become my favorite subject but the photos don't always come out this well. I'm not sure why the data did not show.  I am relatively new to this hobby and all ...

Thanks. I was struck by how rotund that bird was!  I have never seen such a heavyset hummer.  She should sufficiently refueled for the next leg of her journey.  I didn't see her today so I suppose ...

The Rubies began arriving here about mid August on their migration. I have a variety of native plants they enjoy to go with a few ornamentals and a couple of feeders. I'm not sure how long this ...

That pre-flash is what I suspected.  I'll try to get out this evening and play around with that.
