"Branch Walking Dove" by Debra Martz
Captured this White-tipped Dove at Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, Texas.
They are birds mainly of Central and South America but some make their way to southern Texas.

Atlantic Puffin showing off its beauty. Picture taken close to my home a few years ago.

Yellow-Rumped Warbler Up High by Debra Martz
They are fast birds, fluttering out from a tree to catch a flying insect & quickly moving on to the next. It finally took a brief pause and I snapped the shutter. This image was captured at Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, Texas in February.

Hummingbird Fanning Its Tail by Debra Martz
I watched this Buff-bellied Hummingbird fly quickly in and out of the trees at Estero LLano Grande State Park in Weslaco, TX. Finally, it landed and gave me a variety of poses before it flew away again. I especially liked it when it fanned its tail.

Atlantic Puffin hunting capelin (Newfoundland East Coast, 2016). I was lucky to get this shot ... Just happened to look over the cliff at the right time!

Kingbird and Warbler Surprise by Debra Martz
I had been focused on and watching this Couch's Kingbird fly out for an insect and return repeatedly, so I was quite surprised when this Orange-crowned Warbler flew in, too!

The cormorant is one of the most successful shallow-water predators, having the highest capture rates so far recorded in any diving bird.

Their secret of success? Dual-function feathers that absorb and repel water at the same time.
