It's been scorching here the last few days, and we got a nice shower last night. While eating breakfast, I watched this Northern Cardinal enjoy the wet tree leaves.

I've been working on setting up some bird feeders in a small tree just outside my office. I took the screen out of the window, giving me a perfect view to capture birds.

I spotted this Sandhill Crane over a month ago sitting on a nest in a small wetland area near our house. It's my first time seeing Cranes on a nest.

Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is best known as the wintering home of the last wild flock of endangered whooping cranes. The Refuge has stunning scenery and a diversity of wildlife.

It's spring break in Texas, and we went to Rockport Beach. The almost empty beaches last week are full of families enjoying the water.

It's been warm the last several days, but a cold front came through last night. When I got up today, it was 36 degrees, so we stayed inside most of the day.

The Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center has an observation area for birds, alligators & fish. It features a boardwalk & tower with panoramic views of the wetland area.

The weather forecast was partly sunny with mild temperatures. I decided to do an early sunrise shoot with a friend Dave at our RV park.
