Texas (April 29, 2018)

I’m beginning to run out of bird species I haven’t published for this trip, so some of these are going to be repeats of the same species but featuring different photos.  However, this post contains one of my favorite Texas species that I hadn’t seen previously on this trip.

Starting off with a photo of a male Northern cardinal

Another photo of a male Black-chinned hummingbird, with this photo showing a tiny bit of the blue on the bird’s gorget.  I had a very difficult time getting a photo of the bright gorget.

Another photo of an adult male Summer tanager, followed by a photo of a first-year male which has yet to achieve its full red color.

And finally, one of my favorite Texas birds… a White-eyed vireo.  I’m fascinated by the ‘expression’ on this species’ face!
