Yellow Crowned Night Heron: Nyctanassa violacea
This yellow crowned night heron was perched on a limb hanging out over 10 mile bayou - off the Neches River in Orange County Texas. Image taken while on the Ivory Bill Education boat in the Big Thicket.
A medium to large heron of shallow salt water, the Reddish Egret comes in a dark and a white form. It is a very active forager, often seen running, jumping, and spinning in its pursuit of fish. This image was taken on Galveston Island - 8 mile road - bay side.
Cormorants
These cormorants were posing for us (ie., getting ready to fly) on the boardwalk at Sea Rim State Park. I always see something different every time I go walk on the Gambusia board walk.
Avocets three !
Sea Rim State Park West side beach. On this windy cool afternoon these Avocets were plentiful as they basked in the waning sunlight. These three seemed ready for a nap... as they tucked their long bills under their wing against the wind!
