This eastern kingbird posed nicely for me while we visited McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge. It is located along the Gulf coast south of Beaumont, TX.

A great egret with two chicks at the rookery at High Island, TX. It was a delight to watch all of the activity of the egrets and other birds.

A great egret landing at the High Island rookery in Texas in late afternoon sunlight. Image taken on May 3, 2013 with a Nikon D800E, 800mm lens with the 1.25 teleconverter which gives it 1,000 mm effective focal length. We had a great time at High Island and visiting friends and relatives in the Houston area.

Where, oh where can I find a landing spot? LOL
A tricolored heron landing among the multitude of birds at the High Island rookery in TX. Roseatte spoonbills, great egrets, snowy egrets, and a few other varieties build nests and raise there young here.
