We spent a few hours watching the birds at the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge. Seeing this Great Egret flying was simply amazing. Just look at that wingspan. I’m no expert; but I believe he has the longest neck I’ve ever seen on an Egret. Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge is located on the Texas side of the … Continue reading

When I looked around, I saw that he was actually watching over a female that was shuffling around in the leaves. He seemed a little defensive as he stood to check me out; but calmed down quickly … Continue reading
