Flying Ibis
These Ibis, along with a number of other species of birds were everywhere in Brazos Bend State Park, taking advantage of high water for easy hunting.

A junco looks back from its comfortable perch on a window box.
Sun Dried
This anhinga was very relaxed as it dried its feathers after a dive.
Dramatic display

Rosy Finch
The Brown-Capped Rosy-Finch lives at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains only. This one is on McClellan Mountain, picking through alpine flowers.
Shoreline Hunting
This sanderling was braving the waves of Lake Superior, and was happy to let me get a great picture colored by the setting sun.
Sparrow
A black throated sparrow sits in a dead bush, glen canyon in the background. I had been chasing these small birds for a half hour, trying to get one to sit close enough and long enough for a good shot.
