Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Apparently I haven’t put any bird photos up here in a while, what’s that all about? Unacceptable! So to alleviate that issue, here’s some Texas birds for you.<\/p>\n

Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus) who sat still for about 5 minutes and a Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii) sitting in perfect evening light. Thanks, guys.<\/p>\n

Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens). If you look closely you can see he or she’s got some grub in the mouth for nestlings in a nearby cavity.<\/p>\n

Pyrrhuloxia (Cardinalis sinuatus)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Pyrrhuloxia (Cardinalis sinuatus) imitating a T-rex or some sort of dinosaur. It was a really foggy ‘meh’ kinda day and the light was pretty ridiculously bad, but this pose is awesome. I always get excited to see them in the Hill Country since they aren’t overly common around where I usually dwell. They dig the scrubby desert scene (as do I) so it’s kinda fun to see them every now and then.<\/p>\n

Summer Tanager (Piranga ruba)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Summer Tanager (Piranga ruba) striking a pose.<\/p>\n

They’ve got a real pretty song and an even cooler call.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo Olivaceus)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo Olivaceus) pulling the legs off an unfortunate grasshopper.<\/p>\n

I probably messed my neck up taking this photo, as he was directly above me and that’snot the most comfortable position with a heavy 500mm lens.<\/p>\n

Ah well, made for a fun shot.<\/p>\n

Below him are a horde of Cliff Swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonta) just saying hey.<\/p>\n
