This sharpy flew into my backyard feeder and a dove for breakfast. Only time I've seen one get one of my backyard birds.

Occiasonally we are blessed with hummingbirds coming into the drips at the ponds...

I drive by this long driveway several times a week, and like the desert, every time I drive by, it looks different!

I captured this image while working on my photography ranch in Texas February 6th, 2017 in Uvalde, TX

This beautiful Titmouse who normally moves like a busy bee, took a quick second to pose beautifully for me on this Cholla branch.

The Hooded Oriole is a beautiful bird to photograph and one that doesn't sit still for long...Shot in Bracketville, TX May 2016

December shoot when this Northern Cardinal landed on the Tasajilla

Cardinal full frame LL

Caught this Roadrunner just before sundown and in a heavy branched tree which gave it tunnel like feel and added a tad bit of vignetting to it...

Male Vermillion who I was fortunate enough to have land close to me on day on a friends ranch.

I took this shot at La Lomita in Uvalde, TX last week in partially overcast skies with a Nikon D810 - 1-800 sec, @ f-6.3, ISO 640 at 600mm
