Saw this Red-bellied woodpecker apparently resting wedged in that small space between branches. Not his better angle... but he looked comfy!

This beautiful Orange-crowned warbler was in my backyard just yesterday looking for food. So it's my pick for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #warblers.

When you're building a nest, every stick matters. Here, Mr. Snowy was bringing home his latest find. Mrs. Snowy took a look and accepted it.
I watched these beautiful birds for a long time as they worked together to build their nest. Truly awesome.

A Bronzed cowbird for the #BirdOfTheDay theme, #birdonawire At first, a black bird sitting on a wire read like just another one of so many grackles on power lines. Happened to be a lifer I wasn't even searching for. Always take a second look!

Until this Northern cardinal perched right there, I hadn't noticed the gold and orange leaves in the background. He made the scene come alive.

A Great-pampa finch #singing at the beach for today's #BirdOfTheDay. Once you hear it, it's easy to find!

A Great blue heron and a Little blue heron. Pretty sure it's clear who's who on this little island in the lake.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme, #waders, here's a Glossy ibis I saw today. Apparently, it needed to preen in the very spot where some ducks were resting. So, after a couple of complaints, the ducks decided it was easier to make room for it and try to sleep.

Every day, as the lake gets drier, the search for apple snails gets harder for the Limpkins. When one of them finds a good spot for foraging, where there's still water, they don't take kindly to competition!

I hope that two #BirdoftheDay posts are not one too many, because this cutie is begging to be called #round. Absolutely love Blue-gray gnatcatchers 💙

Today I was treated to a beautiful scene where two Great blue herons were engaged in courtship displays. They were so graceful! In the end, the female decided to fly to the other end of the lake, and the male went back to preening. Must be ready for the next opportunity!

This beautiful ibis had been on my wish list for a while. There are three ibis species that can be found here in Texas, but the Glossy was so elusive!

Blue skies and a murder of crows as they assemble to chase away a Red-shouldered hawk intruding in their territory.

A Vermillion flycatcher for the #BirdOfTheDay theme #staredown. I guess it wanted to be left alone while preening! Female or immature male.

Finally, a Blue-gray gnatcatcher allowed me to get clear pictures of her! I always come home with bits and pieces in several blurry photos. Not this morning; so glad! I couldn't pick a favorite :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CootsAndMoorhens, and here's a nest with both chicks and still a couple of eggs. Not sure if that's mom or dad; they were taking turns.

It wasn't until I zoomed in for a picture of that beautiful pelican that I saw there were some smaller birds around. Nice! Also, that's all seashells the killdeer are sitting on.
