Sunday - Nature walk

Sunday we went to visit Dad over to the ranch. I was able to go for a walk and it was gorgeous out. The wind was brisk and it was a bit chilly but the birds were singing. Spring is definitely in the air in South Texas.

Starting out....

I hadn't gone far when I saw a bunch of birds. There were birds fluttering all over the place. I happened to notice that one wasn't one I had seen in a long time...I saw them all the time when I lived in the North and I knew they were in Texas but hadn't been able to spot one, that is until now.

Cedar Waxwing.

He was up on a tree branch but flew down to a puddle in front of me, awesome!! The photos I took of the Cedar Waxwing up on the branch weren't the greatest. But he was so close to me when he came to drink I couldn't not get a clear shot, yes it's a butt shot but he's still beautiful.

Chipping Sparrow...They're all over the place and basically what I see the majority of the time.

Mockingbird and Texas's State Bird.

Coyote track...It's an old track so I didn't see the animal itself. There have actually been cougars spotted near the San Antonio river and I always keep my eye out for tracks.

Baby Blue-eyes, The wildflowers are coming out!!

The sky was soo blue and I love the Spanish moss hanging from the trees.

Song Sparrow...he was singing and it was beautiful!

And then my phone rang, ugh!! Time to go...I had walked all the way to the back of the ranch so I requested a ride, lol...My husband knows if he doesn't come get me it may be an hour before I make it up to the house, especially when I have a camera with me and just possibly he might love me enough to save me a long walk...

It was a beautiful day and I was so glad I got out for a bit. I love spring and hopefully soon I'll be able to get the Macro lens out and find some wildflowers!!
