This past week I have been able to add three new bird species to my list of "birds I have photographed".
They are the Orange Crowned Warbler, Cowbird, and Male Redwing Blackbird.  The photos aren't the best, but, as I learn more about their habits my photographs should improve.  Practice makes Perfect...
This makes for a total of 48 species that I have photographed mostly in the Brownwood, Tx area.  My goal is to get to 50 species this year.  On my list of birds in the area for this year are the Caracara,  Osprey, and Perigrine Falcon that have been spotted at Lake Brownwood.
Several of the species are photos of captured birds that I would like to get photos of in the wild.  Screech Owl, American Kestrel, and Horned Owl
I have posted most of my photos on Flickr.  To view CLICK on this link https://flic.kr/ps/2AtsoN

Another year and another very busy month of January.  Preparing images/prints for four competition/exhibits. 1.  Lake Granbury Art Association Photo Group Annual Show, 2. Photo Place Color of Light Exhibit, 3. Center for Fine Art Photography Landscape Exhibit, and 4. The Nineteenth Annual Stars of Texas Juried Art Exhibit.

This is my eighteenth year of serving on the Stars of Texas Exhibit Committee and you would think I would be prepared well in advance.  NOT!  Saturday, February 4th, the Reception and Awards for the winning entries will be held.  Check the website (www.starsoftexasjuriedartexhibit.com) on Sunday the 5th. for the results.

I started following a young photographer based in Florida, TJ Drysdale.  I came across him from Creative Live and purchased one of his training videos.  His style and work is outstanding and I recommend you take a look at his work.

While I'm recommending various websites, I want to put a plug in for my son's latest efforts at blogging. He's an aspiring writer and I find his musings very interesting.  (I'm not biased in anyway).  Check it out at Jon Levesque.

​Thanks for stopping by.
