Blue Herons

Posted By Kurt Horsley

I finally got a few good shots of the herons on the spring nests. This one is the close-up, taken from the kayak in the middle of the lake. -Kurt Horsley

Spring Babies - Blue Herons

Posted By Kurt Horsley

I finally had some time to get out to some of my favorite spring nesting sites. There are birds everywhere from 1 week to well over 1 month. -Kurt Horsley

Red-Tailed Hawk

Posted By Kurt Horsley

This is one of the two birds that was born in the nest last year. She is now raising two of her own in the same nest. Her mother (4 years old), and her sibling, are still together in the same area. I see them together often. -Kurt Horsley

I just got back from a short trip to the Hill Country of Texas. The photography was very productive. Here's one of my favorites. -Kurt Horsley

I came across several snakes on the bike trail yesterday. This was one of them. Anyone know exactly what kind it is? -Kurt Horsley :

Dickcissel

Posted By Kurt Horsley

I tried to post this guy yesterday, but couldn't get it to post. Anyone else had any problem posting?
The bird is a common dickcissel. I've seen them around but never paid much attention to them. This one was very far away, but the FZ10 pulled in pretty good detail. -Kurt Horsley

Carolina Wren

Posted By Kurt Horsley

She has four tiny little spotted eggs in the birdhouse in the backyard. I'm looking forward to hearing some new little "peepers" soon. It is interesting that the male and female are both present and have stayed together. What a novel idea... -Kurt Horsley
