06/07/2011 Prothonotary Warbler and Eastern Phoebe at Fort Worth Nature Center

Here are a few of photos taken at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge a couple of weeks ago.  We had been sitting on the Boardwalk for an hour or so when the Warbler landed and posed in a nearby bush.  The Phoebe has been visible frequently over the past few weeks as it supported a nest made in the boardwalk itself.  link

Red-bellied Woodpecker and Eastern Bluebird in Backyard

I was sitting in the backyard and saw a lot of bird activity.  When I returned with my camera, I found a couple of Eastern Bluebirds appearing to be nesting in a bird house in the backyard.  Then I spotted a Red-bellied Woodpecker sitting on one of our feeders.  I added an new Miscellaneous Nature Photos section to the Nature Galleries.  There you can find these and a couple more shots.
