1st day in the field - Brazos Bend with Caleb



Not a bad way to spend two hours in the morning before Conference:

Anhinga


Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Common Grackle

American Coot

Common Gallinule
Oh yeah, they have these too.
Alligators

Grackle - I think Great Tailed (but could be Boat Tailed)

A bad picture of a Pied-Billed Grebe

Little Blue Heron

Bad picture of Red-Bellied Woodpecker

Red-winged Blackbird

Yellow-crowned Night Heron

As we pulled up to the house, we saw our friend Mourning Doves sitting on the hose holder

First pictures with the 100-400mm lens

First bird photos with my new camera - didn't yet have the new 400mm lens

A couple days later I saw this little Downy Woodpecker in the backyard
