I took many, many photos while at the Texas Gulf coast a couple of weeks back. The birds there never disappoint me! These photos were taken at the birding center, quite late in the day. It’s my favorite time to take photographs, as the low sunlight imparts a golden glow to most everything. (I’m sure mornings are equally beautiful, but they come so early!)
Here is a white ibis on the boardwalk railing. A face only a mother could love, and knock-kneed to boot! His face, beak and legs really are pink.
The teals were pretty bountiful this fall. Here is one soaking up a little late-day sunshine:
This pelican was stretching his wings. Because he was in the shadow of kind of an island in the middle, it almost looks like a black-and-white photo.

Your pictures are the best. I am in love with Pelicans, have been my whole life. What a magnificent shot. Thumbs up!
Hi Sue
I really like your photos — I am a senior and painting Garden Rocks for a craft market
I know it is improper to use someone’s work without permission and I don’t
May I use these photos for a reference to paint them
yours truly
June
