Ther are tons of egrets (I believe) that are nesting in the trees on may land. They are starting to come around yearly now. Could I have a nesting sancuary like Rockport has for their skimmers !!!

I was in Lytle, TX near San Antonio. I live near Austin & had not seen this kind of bird. The bird is black with red on top of the wing. Thanks, ori

That's a Painted Bunting you're seeing. Excellent bird.

Here near New Braunfels Tx I am ( right now) looking at a bird that is the most beautiful bird I have seen in the wild. At first I thought it was an escaped pet from a bird cage. This bird is about the size of a sparrow. It has a dark blue head, a red breast, Green wings and a yellow patch on its back. A very striking bird. Do you have any idea what this bird is? It nests here and I have not found any info about this little bird.

Thank you for your photos. I have seen the roseate spoonbill since the first time I came down here house hunting a year ago and have been wondering what kind of bird it was. I took a picture of it myself because I was so facinated. Thanks again, Brenda
