Texas Zoo ~ Birds

Dawn and I took Dacey and Michael to the Texas Zoo in Victoria last week as a special treat. Below are a few of the bird photos I took.

Scarlet Ibis

White Ibis

Roseate Spoonbill


Isn't his beak cool...They always amaze me!


D.D. the Black Bellied Whistling Duck. She is quiet the character and loves to attack!! It seems she has a boyfriend that flies in every morning and sits on the top of the Aviary and talks to her...Maybe that is why she has such a bad attitude she needs some love?


Wigeons (I think?)


Wood duck...beautiful birds! I can remember seeing these in the woods in Michigan when I use to ride the horses all the time. His eye is whacked out due to me using the flash, oops!

Guinea Fowl...Yes they are loud and obnoxious but I still think they are cool looking...


White-tailed Hawk. Isn't she gorgeous? She was in a pen but I managed a good head shot through the fencing.
