The Jewels of Champions - Houston, Texas

I am fortunate to have been granted permission to photograph the birds of Champions Golf Club (a private club). Golfers from all over the world make it their destination. I live on the Jackrabbit Course and find the allure to be the wildlife. The galleries show only a small sampling of the avian life at Champions. Please visit from time to time and check for updates.

A note of thanks to the “powers that be” Jack Burke, President; Charles Joachim, Grounds Superintendent; Shirley Sembritzky, Club Manager for allowing me to capture "The Jewels of Champions".

Please click on each photo. Where you see ::Wood Duck:: it means there is a gallery on that particular bird with multiple photos. Click on each photo within the gallery.

Fabulous. I am very lucky that I am a member of Champions and get to enjoy all this beauty every time I am on the course. Sometimes it is hard to concentrate on the shot.
