Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfOctober. It's always difficult to chose, but I'm going with this pair of singing Eastern Meadowlarks from a week ago. #birds #ECK #photography #wildlife #nature

Nature lover and birder living in Cypress, TX. Birding wherever the road takes me. All photos, except reposts, are mine unless otherwise noted. 🐦⬛📷 No DM please.
Time for #BirdOfTheDay, and the theme is #NOP, any bird name starting with one of these letters. Here's some Pelicans I saw earlier this month. Needless to say, very good at fishing! #birds #ECK #wildlife #photography #birding
This precious little bird is a Black-throated Green Warbler. Headed south, but needed to rest from flying in the wind. I just happened to be standing there, lucky me 💛 #ColorADay #GreenSat #birds #SmallBirdSaturday #birding
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #MostSeen - the birds you see most often! Northern Cardinals are always out and about. This male I saw yesterday was having dinner on a Beautyberry bush. #Birds #ECK #photography #cardinals #Texas
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Yellow; any bird with yellow plumage. A Scarlet Tanager looks golden in his non-breeding plumage —just as gorgeous as his summer deep red. #birdphotography #ECK #ColorADay #YellowThu
My Buttercup bush in full bloom this morning, right on time for #ColorADay #YellowThu #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport #Fall #Flowers
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #MealTime, any bird eating food. Frog legs, anyone? This Red-bellied Woodpecker sure thinks it's a good choice for a meal! #birding ##ECK #photography #woodpeckers
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OnOneLeg. I saw this Spotted Sandpiper last week at a local park. Nice surprise! #birding #ECK #photography #birds #Texas
Can anyone help ID these mushrooms? Someone on the trail suggested Train Wrecker, but wasn't sure. Thanks! #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #nature #Texas
A Julia Heliconian butterfly, also Orange Longwing. I hadn't encountered this species yet, so I was happy to see one a few days ago. #butterflies #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Stunday #flowers
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #LMNO. Here's a Loggerhead Shrike I saw this morning, a songbird with raptor habits and the hook on its beak to back it all up. #birding #ECK #photography #raptors #wildlifephotography
An unexpected find last week and a brand new lifer. This precious Black-throated Blue Warbler is the exact kind of wonderful discovery that makes birding such a joy. This is a truly stunning little bird. #SmallBirdSaturday #birding #Texas #ECK #photography
Just lightness and open air, a reminder to step into the weekend ready to relax and enjoy the little things. #nature #photography #weekendvibes #FlyDay #Scape
For today's #BirdOfTheday theme of #Juveniles here's a young Blue Jay from this past summer. All babies need a swing :) #birdwatching #BlueJays #ECK #photography #Texas
The closest I have been to a Bald Eagle. I'd just taken a picture of a warbler who kept hiding from me, when I looked up and, a couple of trees down the line, surprise! I was stunned for an instant. Thankfully the bird stayed put for a minute. #birding #Texas #ECK #photography #eagle #PhotoOfTheDay
Sharing this sweet Wilsons' Warbler from today's birding for #ColorADay #YellowThu #birding #birds #Texas #ECK #photography
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Seasonal; any shot from Autumn/Fall. How about Warbler season?! Here's a Common Yellowthroat from this morning. So beautiful! #birding #Texas #ECK #Photography #Warblers
An American Robin about to feast on crabapples that look ripe and ready to be enjoyed! #birding #ColorADay #RedWed #fruit #photography
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LittleLegs, any bird with small legs. Here, a Gilded Hummingbird shows its legs as it moves along a twig in a tree. #birding #ECK #photography #hummingbirds
Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Pairs, any pair of same/mixed birds. I love these two gulls in a quiet moment. #birding #Texas #ECK #photography
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Turdidae, so here's a Veery from last Spring. #bird #photography #ECK #Texas
Birds: Also better than humans at staying in their lane ;) Almost perfect species stratification out on the bay yesterday. Loved it! (From the top: Willets, Avocets, Spoonbills, Ducks, Stilts) #birding #photography #Texas #ECK #birds
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoreBirds; any bird on the shore. Here's a gorgeous Greater Yellowlegs. I always think its intricate feathers look beautifully top-stitched, nature's flawless craft. Love that plumage! #ECK #photography #Texas #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoreBirds; any bird on the shore. Here's this beautiful Snowy Plover in the morning light at the edge of the water. #birding #ECK #photography #Texas #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Blue, any bird with blue in its plumage. This Belted Kingfisher I met yesterday beautifully shows off his blue feathers, yet it's actually the female who wears the rusty 'belt' that gives the species its name. 🤎💙 #ECK #photography #birding #Texas
Just another little bird scurrying along the edge of a tidal pool? Look closer. This is a Piping Plover—a species federally listed as Threatened in Texas, where they spend the winter. Amazing how the most special things can be hidden in plain sight. #birding #photography #Texas #birds
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have green in them. Here's a singing Mockingbird, with just a hint of fall in the foliage. #birding #ECK #photography #Texas #birds #Mockingbirds
