I have a passion for the outdoors and I am most happy enjoying what nature has to offer. Hobbies include photography, birding, Pickleball, astronomy, biking, and hiking. I have been happily married, for 50 years, to an amazing person.
During mating season when the Great Egrets start to build their nests, I wonder how they go about choosing just the right stick. It is so much fun to watch them hunting for, choosing and then delivering to their mate, just the right one. I took these photos at The Rookery at Smith Oaks, High Island, Texas.
Until next time…
Keep Gathering!

I have been trying for several days to capture this gorgeous Red-headed Woodpecker with my camera. Finally got a few shots today!
It has been delightful observing their behavior of flying from tree to tree, chasing each other either in trying to impress a mate or intimidate a foe, drumming to announce their availability, digging a hole for a nest or just pecking their way up a tree for food.
Digging just the right nesting hole.
“How is it looking from down there?”
All in a Day’s Work
Until next time
Pay attention if you see me, because I’am one handsome bird!
Howard and I had fun watching these Canada Geese while camped at Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort, Alabama. Not long after the geese found a safe rousting spot and the sun dipped over the horizon, a full moon greeted us with its bright happy face to wish us sweet dreams.
