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

My son and I will be presenting wildlife photography techniques at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge facility to a group of 5th and 6th Graders as a part of the Summer Camp program. The link (click on the photo) is to a video containing a collection of photos that he and I took at the Center over the past couple of years. link
I managed to get out to the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge last week and found this very photogenic Snowy Egret. He stayed around and posed for my son and I for over an hour. Links to some of these and other wildlife taken at the FWNC can be found by clicking on the image or on the following link: fwnc_wildlife
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.
Here are a couple of shots from today’s shoot at the Fort Worth Nature Center.
I was able to take some pictures at the Fort Worth Nature Center this morning and found a Prothonotary Warbler and a pair of Eastern Bluebirds. These were added to the Nature / Fort Worth Nature Center Wildlife photos. Link
I had another opportunity to visit the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge a few weeks ago. We were able to take lots of photos including ones of the endangered Whooping Crane (as seen in the photo above). Look in the Galleries / Nature / National Wildlife Refuges menu item.
