"Fall migration is in full effect with these beauties chasing each other around :)"

Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Austin

"Appearing for just a brief window in September, the greener adults are not as commonly seen in Austin."

Tree Swallow - Hornsby Bend Bird Observatory

"We were both ready for his close-up! First time to photograph this sought-after species."

Black-throated Blue Warbler - Brackenridge Park, San Antonio

"Roadrunners are so cool! Check out the hint of iridescence on their feathers."

Greater Roadrunner - Commons Ford

"The only warbler with a fire-orange throat - they never disappoint!"

Blackburnian Warbler - Mills Pond

"They do this little dance to stir up fish, always fun to watch."

Reddish Egret - South Padre Island

"Orioles are bright but rather skittish, so I hid behind a tree for some nice closeups of this beautiful male."

Baltimore Oriole - South Padre Island

"Males are the other bright red bird besides cardinals you might see."

Summer Tanager - Cherry Creek Nature Park

"Not a thrush at all but a ground-dwelling warbler that bobs as it walks."

Northern Waterthrush - Nicholas Dawson Park
