American White Ibis taking flight. Spotted a couple of these perched at the top of trees next to a neighborhood pond.
Red-bellied #woodpecker. This one pays us a short visit nearly every day.
Here's a white-breasted nuthatch, from Lees Summit, Missouri in 2016.
These birds are great fun to watch as they can run up, AND DOWN tree trunks thanks to that long backwards-facing claw, called the hallux. They also tend to have a lot of personality.
Northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), the designated #Texas state bird.
A scissor-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus), also known as the Texas bird-of-paradise, spotted near Lake Travis in the #Texas Hill Country.
No hummingbird sightings for the past several days, I guess they’ve all moved on south to their winter homes, but we always have #cardinals around.
