During our one day excursion to southeast Missouri we visited Mingo National Wildlife Refuge and Duck Creek wildlife area near Puxico, MO. Hardly any birds in the area. This one eastern kingbird did pose for us for a short while on one of the ponds at Duck Creek.

We had the pleasure of getting this image of a great egret landing at High Island, Texas during a recent trip to the Gulf coast.
I was going back through some images from earlier trips and thought this green jay perched on a very prickly bush might be good to share. Taken in south Texas where many of the trees and bushes grow many thorns.

A mute swan “just cruising” in a lake in Springfield, Mo, today. Putting on a glorious display of its plumage.

The entire family of mute swans, one was a bit shy. 🙂
A mute swan, probably a male with its five cygnets. On a lake in Springfield, MO. The black part of the male’s bill/nose swells during mating season.
Another image from our recent trip to the Texas Gulf coast. This is a white-faced ibis preening.

A pair of roseate spoonbills, it appears one is holding the other down, perhaps to keep it from sparring with the great egret? This along with other recent images are on our Web site, www.OzarksPhotos.com , pay us a visit and play the slideshows which are available (sans music) in each folder of images.

During our visit to McFadden NWR we saw this common moorhen feeding along the bank of one of the ponds there.
