Power in the Pines Airshow 2025 had a rough start on Friday but the Thunderbirds still flew. Great Airshow for sure.

I don’t get home as often as I like….but when I do I try to get a few pictures. A very cold night with a longer exposure from the old Kitty Hawk Fishing Pier. I spent man an hour on this pier.

I haven’t been around Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in a while, but they are one of my favorite to watch. Joe can you not love a bird with a tail like that?

Another of my favorites. The frog is obvious, but look to the right of the picture and you’ll see a small grasshopper. The frog was chasing the insect and attracted the alligator’s attention.

I’d never seen a grasshopper like this before this one…and I haven’t seen one since.

Some kids found this beauty during a morning hike so it was in a defensive coil with tail rattling.

One of my all-time favorite picture is this Bobcat at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center near San Antonio. There is a long story behind it but I won’t bore you with the details.

I was able to spend a little time birding during a trip to South Korea and found this beautiful bird. A Vinous-throated Parrotbill - Paradoxornis webbianus.
