Seagulls and pelicans have a commensalism relationship. The seagulls like to attempt to steal or at least find bits of food left behind by the pelicans. Most seagulls will land near where the pelicans are floating. I think this one was afraid to get his feet wet.

A grey (or maybe great blue) heron and like a dozen pelicans hanging out at on the remains of the SS Selma. #bird #birds #photography #wildlife #ssselma #sunkenships #ship #galveston

An Atlantic bottle nosed dolphin. These a non-migrating group who hang out in Galveston and the surrounding waterways year round. We even see them in Clear Lake occasionally. Usually pretty difficult to photograph in our murky waters. #photography #dolphin #wildlifephotography #galveston

Been home a week and taking a short break. But the pelicans have been super active outside my balcony this week. Lots of fishing going on. #bird #birds #wildlife #photography #clearlaketx

Started Cap Rock with a scenic drive. I didn’t see any herds but I did catch these two bison #Photography #WildlifePhotography #Bison #BetterOutside #Camping #CapRockCanyon.

Think I would have seen more of these since I have been in the desert (I blame cartoons). This greater roadrunner enjoyed chasing bugs through the campgrounds. #Bird #Birds #WildlifePhotography #Photography #BetterOutside #Camping.

Unfortunately this is as close as I got to Lighthouse rock. The heavy rains from Friday night have had the trails closed. And today I head over to Cap Rock Canyon. Been looking forward to Palo Duro for awhile. next time. #Photography #NaturePhotography #BetterOutside #Camping #PaloDuroCanyon

I happenstance I had my camera in a high frame rate mode, so I actually got a couple of frames of these two. I think the house finch was offended that the white crowned sparrow decided he could partake.

Been at Cochiti Lake the last couple days. Hard to beat the view out the back of my camp site.

The green tailed towhee was very elusive. He didn’t like to sit still. #Bird #Birds #Photography #WildlifePhotography.

The Pine Siskin was at another of the feeders. So many birds. #Bird #Birds #Photography #WildlifePhotography.

This Woodhouse Scrub Jay was elusive. On came to the bird blinds feeder twice, and was quick. #Birds #Birds #WildlifePhotography #Photography #tpwd #davismtstatepark

Been at Davis Mountains State Park for a couple days now. But been busy for a variety of reasons and haven’t had a chance to really get out. But I got out for a hike today. The best part though was the bird blind they had set up. My favorite bird was this Scott’s oriole. #Bird #Birds #Photography.

The turkey vulture, not hard to find these guys in Texas. #bird #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

I made up Old Baldy, and several more miles of hiking. This red tailed hawk was scoping out the Frio river below. Not as sharp as I would like. Took it with the light weight kit lens as I wasn’t up to lugging the 400mm up 500’. #bird #birds #garnerstatepark #photography #wildlifephotography

Arrived at Garner State Park yesterday. Today, I attempt to summit Old Baldy. Wish me luck. #tpwd #garnerstatepark #texasstateparks #oldbaldy #hiking #hillcountry #trails #photography
