    Hello Mae,
    A wonderful critter post, I love all the birds.
    The Painted Bunting is a favorite, they are beautiful.
    The Caracara, the Swallows and the Stilt are great birds and photos. Neat shot of the dragonflies. I am sure they were plenty of cows in Texas, I like the cow photo too.
    Thank you for sharing your link and critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank so much for leaving me a comment.

    I would love to see that Ibis...never seen one like that. And the other birds are great too. Enjoy your visit!

    Love these photos! I'm a huge critter fan so I love this post! I also love the water more than any one should. I've always wanted to live on a houseboat and almost bought one but my kids said that they didn't want to leave their friends and school, so we didn't get it. We had a pontoon boat and a speed boat that we always went out on so I settled for that.

    You are a good photographer to capture these birds & the dragonflies so still. The painted bunting is particularly fetching to see.
