Snowy Egret at Fort Worth Nature Center
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.

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.
