Verdin Nest Building ©Debra Martz This was the first time I had seen a Verdin's nest and was quite surprised by the size and messiness of it! Maybe the inside is neater where it flew into it from the bottom with this bit of white fluff!

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

Brilliant Red Northern Cardinal ©Debra Martz While walking along the Green Jay Trail, I was in search of the Altamira Oriole. But who can resist the sight of the male Northern Cardinal? He gave me several poses before he flew back into the thicker limbs. Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park in southern Texas on March 3rd. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved

Plain Chachalaca Early Morning ©Debra Martz The Chacalaca is a nonmigratory bird that is found in the southern tip of Texas and through much of Central America. I heard the very loud call of several before this one made an appearance on the open branch in the morning light.
