Morning With The American Avocets ©Debra Martz On this morning, as I moved from location to location around the lake, the different species seemed to have their favorite spots. So many Avocets here that it made my think of being packed in like sardines!

Tri-colored Heron Wading the Shallows ©Debra Martz Sometimes they run and dart in all directions as they chase prey and other times, like this, the Heron will gently shuffle and stalk to stir up prey. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6868.NEF

Tropical Green Jay ©Debra Martz The brilliantly colored Jay of green, yellow, and blue is a bird of the tropics whose range barely stretches to southern Texas. It is a noisy, colorful delight to see. And what better trail to see it on than the Green Jay Trail in Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park in southern Texas. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230303-DSC_7360

Tri-colored Heron Vibrant Beauty ©Debra Martz I was surprised and happy at the numbers of these herons on this morning. It seemed every turn I made there was one more. This was one of the closest to the boardwalk and one of the more vibrant as it was already getting the bright plumage of breeding season. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6808

Birdwatching: I have a special connection with the avian world, finding feathered friends where some see nothing more than leafy spectators.

Rainbow Lorikeets are commonly found in the rainforests, coastal bushes and woodland forest areas of Australia’s east coast. They are notorious for destroying fruit crops. These birds eat a wide range of fruits, seeds, nectar and pollen from flowers. Wild lorikeets are common in urban areas and often get close to humans. Photo taken in Sydney on a Nikon Coolpix P610.

Tom Turkey Profile ©Debra Martz I first spotted a male turkey in full display near the visitors center shortly after our arrival at Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park. About a mile along the main trail into the park, I spotted a number of turkeys back in the trees so I just stood around awhile. Eventually, this gobbler come out of the trees where the sunlight really showed off all its details and colors. The state park is located in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230303-DSC_7338

A Northern Cardinal perched on a small tree branch.

Male Northern Cardinal on a Snag by Debra Martz I was at the end of my hike, almost to the truck, when this guy flew in and landed on top of this old snag. Captured at south Llano River State Park near Junction, Texas. Scientific name: Cardinalis cardinalis The white overcast sky was rather boring so I added a few textures to the overall image. ©Debra Martz 20190429-DSC_6711

Common Gallinule Looking Fluffy by Debra Martz The tail showing off white under tail feathers is just one of the displays of courtship during mating season. And, it was March so this is a possible reason for the raised tail. The Common Gallinule in the Americas were once known as the Common Moorhen like those of the Old World. But the American Ornithologists' Union split it from that in 2011. I photographed this beautiful bird at Leonabelle wetlands in Port Aransas, Texas. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved

Little penguins are the smallest of all penguin species, standing at approximately 33cm tall. Little penguins breed in colonies along the southern coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. While the thousands of penguins on Phillip Island near Melbourne are a tourist attraction, there is a much smaller population here in Sydney. In the past there were hundreds of little penguins in Sydney’s North Harbour. However, by the 1990s numbers were thought to be as low as 35 breeding pairs. Due to a concentrated effort by National Parks and Wildlife Service, Office of Environment and Heritage, Manly Council, Manly Environment Centre, Taronga Zoo and the local community, there are now around 60–70 breeding pairs. These penguins are still a...

Common Gallinule at Edge of Water - Painterly by Debra Martz It's not often that I see the full length of the colorful legs and feet of the Galinule (Gallinula galeata) so I was quite pleased as this one posed on the outer edge of the water. I, also, liked the patterns made by the movement of the brackish marsh water at Leaonabelle Birding Center of Port Aransas, Texas. This was taken from the new boardwalk that runs in a different direction from the one that was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. Digital enhancements have been applied for a painterly effect. ©Debra Martz 20190514-DSC_0920

Daydreaming Dove by Debra Martz I was bird watching while sitting inside a bird blind. This White-winged Dove landed on this small branch and looked upward for a bit. They are vegetarians and commonly eat above ground. Perhaps it has its sights on a nice large seed or a berry instead of daydreaming. Captured at Estero Llano Grande State Park in southern Texas. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends 3" 20220414-DSC_2729

Great Kiskadee Perched ©Debra Martz We had just arrived at the South Padre Island Nature and Birding Center and before heading out on the 4800 ft boardwalk we took a walk through the butterfly garden. I didn't see butterflies but did get several differnt birds! A great way to start the bird watching! ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6623.NEF
