We just got back from our trip to Colorado and New Mexico last weekend but I have already begun to look into our next trip. In 2010 we went to south Texas at the beginning of March and it looks as though we may be returning their again next year. This time we are going to go about a month later so that perhaps we can catch some of the spring migration as it goes through Texas.
One of the birds that we enjoy photographing in Texas is the golden-fronted woodpecker. These colorful woodpeckers are native to Texas, Oklahoma, Mexico, and Central America. There are four
different subspecies that can be differentiated by the color of the patch on the
forehead as well as their location. These woodpeckers are
omnivores eating fruit, nuts, seeds and insects. These photos were taken in
Bentsen State Park in Texas.

Aren't they just the most fun?? I saw them in Kingsville, TX, but not as far north as San Antonio. This winter/spring I hope to travel a more sourtherly route to see some birds, too!
This is such a beautiful bird. Great captures! The only colorful bird I see here is the kingfisher.
What a beautiful bird! Nice shots!

Somehow, I never imagined birds eating grapefruit. Learn something new every day!
