Two blue jays sheltering underneath our picnic table during Hurricane Harvey. We’ve had 10 inches of rain in the last two days, as Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey sits at a standstill over Texas.

I tried to sneak up on the hawk sitting on the perch to get a closeup photo. That didn’t happen.

I got lucky this bird flew by within range while I had my camera out.

I played around a little bit in Lightroom, darkening the photograph for a silhouette effect.

I managed to photograph this Black-bellied Whistling Duck while it was on our utility pole.

Blurry Killdeer Photos

These photos are blurry, but not intentionally. Killdeer walk a lot on the ground. I thought maybe I could get some good photos. That hasn’t happened yet.

This is one of the parents. It would have been a great photo if I hadn’t chopped off the wing tips. Sigh.
