The Drying Puddles...

A cool picture from the Village Creek Drying Beds where I take much of my bird photography... although, since we've not had much rain, everything has just about dried up... so, I've started calling them the Drying Puddles... Enjoy!

Meerkat

Another fun shot from the Fort Worth Zoo today... This one from the Meerkat exhibit... Enjoy!

Peekaboo...

Another colorful Macaw out at the Fort Worth Zoo ... Enjoy!

Scarlet Ibis

Another good shot from the Fort Worth Zoo today... This is called a Scarlet Ibis. Please note that I did NOT enhance any colors on this bird... if I had, he would just burst into flames ;-) That is exactly what he looked like in real life, so I left the color as-is. Enjoy!

Blue Macaw

Went out to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... including this large Macaw... Enjoy!

Big Kitty...

Went out to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... I have several of this White Tiger... I may post some more in the future - but this one ain't bad. Enjoy!

Majestic Bald Eagle

Went to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... I was very happy to get a good shot of this Bald Eagle.. it's a shame he was behind a chain link fence... Enjoy!

Sitting Pretty...


Went to the Fort Worth Zoo today and took a lot of pictures... it seems odd to go all the way to the zoo to get a picture of a Cockatiel, but I found a good one... enjoy!

In deep thought...

Went to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got a lot of good pictures... here's a large Gorilla who seemed to be in deep thought. Enjoy!

Killdeer nice and close...

It's not that often I can get up this close to a Killdeer... they're usually kinda nervous. Enjoy!

Kildeer coming in for a landing

Took a quick photo of this Killdeer on an impulse... turned out pretty good!
Enjoy!

Barn Swallow - female? :-)

I have no idea if it's female or not... it's just the gesture made me guess ;-)
Enjoy!

White Ibis

A great shot of a White Ibis out at the drying beds...I was happy to finally get a picture of an all-white bird without the D7000 giving me focusing grief... I'm learning! Enjoy!

American Avocet

Found another species I hadn't seen before at the drying beds... this one is called an American Avocet... Enjoy!

Buff-Breasted Sandpiper

Took the D7000 out today for the first time at the VCDBs... found a species I hadn't seen before. This is called a Buff-Breasted Sandpiper. Enjoy!
