Hannah and I were thrilled to see a juvenile male calliope hummingbird visiting our yard this past weekend. Although photo isn't wow-worthy, being able to see this species in our area is pretty awesome stuff. Planting natives that bloom in fall or winter (Turk's Cap is great for our area) and leaving out a feeder with fresh nectar may send you a surprise visitor, too. If you do decide to keep a feeder out, please remember that it's still very important to change the solution and clean the feeder weekly. And as always, you don't need food coloring to entice these beauties to visit. :) . . . . #ornitholic #hummingbird #surprise #garden #love . . . . . #birdnerd #texasbirdnerd #dragondaydreamer #allaboutbirds #bestbirdshots #ornithology #best_birds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #birdnerds #audubonsociety #wildlife #picoftheday #audubon #texaswildlife #discoverearth #animalplanet #natgeowild #beautiful
Most people stop at rest areas to errr...rest, but there is no rest for the birding madness. Hannah snapped this sweet yellow-throated warbler pic at the Kenedy County Safety Rest Stop on Hwy 77. 😉 . . #ornitholic #warbler #cantstopwontstop #yellow #obsessed . . . . . #birdnerd #texasbirdnerd #dragondaydreamer #allaboutbirds #bestbirdshots #ornithology #best_birds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #birdnerds #audubonsociety #wildlife #picoftheday #audubon #texaswildlife #discoverearth #animalplanet #natgeowild #beautiful
These cranes look like my kids when I holler, "Come help me get down Xmas decorations!" ;) Nice shot Hannah! . . . #ornitholic #christmasdecor #christmas #runaway #xmas #sandhillcrane . . . . . #birdnerd #texasbirdnerd #dragondaydreamer #allaboutbirds #bestbirdshots #ornithology #best_birds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #birdnerds #audubonsociety #wildlife #audubon #texaswildlife #discoverearth #animalplanet #natgeowild #beautiful

Step away from those poles all you firemen and exotic dancers because it's chachalaca time at the feeder! (Video captured by Hannah. Please forgive the Blair Witch style cinematography. We stick with still photography for a reason.) . . . . . #ornitholic #funny #riograndevalley #crazy #funnyanimals . . . . . #birdnerd #texasbirdnerd #dragondaydreamer #circus #bestbirdshots #ornithology #best_birds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #birdnerds #audubonsociety #wildlife #picoftheday #audubon #texaswildlife #discoverearth #animalplanet #natgeowild #videostar
Belted kingfishers are common in our area, but ringed kingfishers are not. The beak on the ringed is quite the beast! . . . . . . #ornitholic #beauty #riograndevalley #blue #kingfisher . . . . . #birdnerd #texasbirdnerd #dragondaydreamer #allaboutbirds #bestbirdshots #ornithology #best_birds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #birdnerds #audubonsociety #wildlife #picoftheday #audubon #texaswildlife #discoverearth #animalplanet #natgeowild #beautiful
