Time changed last night and sprung 1 hr ahead and my head is totally messed up!
I couldn't sleep this morning, so as soon as the sun was up I went outside for some
Photo therapy...The birds were out and about and I even saw a new one this morning!!
Northern Male Cardinal...known to most Texans as a redbird...
Brownheaded Cowbirds and Cardinals out in the pasture...
Female Northern Cardinal
Pink Jasmine that we just planted. If I can't see wildflowers this year I'll plant my own...I need color!!
We had a buff-bellied Hummingbird come in last week! And he or she is still here!
I was staring at the feeder and at all the chipping sparrows when it dawned on me there is another sparrow in there that is new...a White-crowned Sparrow. They are a bit bigger than the chipping sparrows and of course they have the white and black on the top of their head...I didn't have the camera when I first saw them and when I came back out with the camera the White-crowned sparrows flew off...So after my photo session I came in to check out my photos and happened to look out the window and they were back...sigh!! So I took these photos through the window...
It was a pretty good morning for the birds. We are headed over to my In-laws ranch near the San Antonio River and hopefully I'll be able to get some more photos!!

Love your first pic Wendy beautiful shot!! Ive got all my feeders out including hummingbird cause the kids just love to watch the birds and so does my cat...lol
The first photo of that male cardinal is excellent! Great job. I'm jealous of all the birds you have there! ;D We've had woodpeckers banging on our chimney. I was just lucky enough to have the kids see it...nevermind a photo! ;D
Good job, as always! The cardinals are awesome and the flowers are really gorgeous. I'm jealous of the therapy time, Haven't had the camera out of the bag lately. I'm glad to see you're shooting something other than snakes. Great work!
You need to come over to Shiner, there are wildflowers all over here!!
Love the pictures, what a fun way to spend your morning! Photo Therapy rocks!!
