Wilson’s Warbler. These cuties are common Texas migrants in the fall and one of my favorites to see. Fun fact: there are 46 species of warblers that regularly occur in Texas during migrations. #birding #birds #BirdsOfTexas #warblers #FallMigration

Hummingbird silhouettes.
This past weekend in my backyard.

Hummers.

Hummingbirds have the best tongues!

Male ruby-throated hummingbird.

Look at this guy! Turning his head changes how the light hits its neck feathers, making them appear to change color. It could not not share this!

I had at least 7 hummingbirds in the backyard today.

Great egrets, fishing.

Yellow-breasted chat.

I had seen this bird from my kitchen window and heard it many times, but it never showed itself when I had my camera ready. Until this morning!

Little blue heron.
Brazos Bend State Park, Texas.

This cormorant caught a fish and swallowed it fast (tail first!) before junior popped its head out of the water, asking for a snack. It is time for junior to catch its own fish.

Wood duck flotilla, led by Mama.

Southeast Texas.

Immature little blue heron still working on its colors.

Cedars waxwings.

If I had caught a crawfish the size of my head for dinner, I too would spike up with joy before eating it.
