Red-legged Honeycreeper

Red-legged Honeycreeper

This female red-legged honeycreeper is part of a group that spends most of the day eating papaya we put out near our back porch in Costa Rica. They are feisty little birds who often chase larger birds away. Once they peck through the outer skin, they stick their entire heads through the hole to get at the juicy meat inside.

Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan

Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan

Chestnut-mandibled toucans are frequent visitors to our little piece of Paradise in Alto Monterrey, Costa Rica. This one landed in a tree right beside our back porch...eyeing the papaya I had put in the bird feeder. It sat there for a while and then flew away, never touching the papaya. Perhaps it was put off by the flurry of activity around the feeder.

Ford

"Ford"

Another rusty truck image. This is the '53 Ford pickup I discovered parked along I35 in Salado not long ago. I used some digital techniques to make the colors of the rust more vibrant and the sky more interesting.

Flying Egret

"Flying Egret"

This is another of my early morning White Rock Lake images. It has been digitally manipulated to give more definition to the water and to the bird. Egrets feed along the edges of the lake in the early mornings and are often very tolerant of my "shooting". Even though they are very large birds, they are quite graceful in flight.

Red-winged Blackbird

"Red-winged Blackbird"

Each spring and summer the cattails along the edges of White Rock Lake provide housing for red-winged blackbirds. Males such as this one are everywhere, singing and performing their displays to attract females. This image has been digitally manipulated to give it a more ethereal, Oriental feel. It's one of my favorites.
