http://mtns2molhilz.smugmug.com/ Growing up on the upper Texas Coast, there were many reasons to regard the region as the state's armpit: 'skeeters the size of pelicans, ocean water color best described as washing-machine brown, the irksome effect of sweating in place (in winter, in the shade...) ,among others. Then I discovered birding. Yessireebob, it all started innocently enough in the front yard. A curious, dwarf-sized, dapper black and white pecker-wood excavating a nest hole in an exhausted mimosa tree captured my attention- less than half a foot in lenght, it seemed, but all feathers and frenzy. Chiseling away, day after day, oblivious to onlookers, this little dynamo had to be one of nature's most single minded inhabitants. Just what kind of critter was this, anyway? A quick trip to the local bookstore, and a thumb through Roger Peterson's "Birds of Texas" solved the mystery- the little flying buzzsaw was called a "Downy Woodpecker". That was in 1978- 30 years and 1100 or so species later, I now realize it's a privledge to call this little corner of Texas home. It's one of the continent's top destinations for studying and photographing birds. Hopefully in these pages there is something to hold the attention of nature lovers in general, and wild bird fanciers in particular. Not a great photographer, mind you, but improving (hopefully) as I go along. Nothing to write home about, image wise, but the galleries may give traveling birders an idea of what can be found at these locations. Oh and some family kinda stuff too! http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Fri, 25 Jan 2008 07:23:13 -0800 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:00:25 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
