This is the view from my front porch, looking east.  My binoculars, spotting scope, and camera
are never far away, and I spend as much time as I can enjoying this scene, and documenting the birds, plants, critters and changing weather photographically.
Sometimes I have access to excellent  optical spotting scopes as you can see to the left. Actually, we were bored one drizzly weekend and set up our 10" astronomical telescope to see what we could see. We were able to count the tail feathers on some shorebirds 1/2 mile away! For astronomy and
astrophotography from our observatory, see Michael's Horizontal Heavens Observatory

My bird photo album is organized by season--based on when I see a particular species in my yard. There is also a page for photos from Other Locations. And I'm slowly working to document the plant life and critters (mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles)
found on my acre of Hill Country property, so look for the Growing Things and the Critters, Flitters, & Crawlies pages. A Texas Weather page documents the awesome display Mother Nature frequently puts on.
If you are looking for a particular bird species, and aren't sure what page I might have it on, check my Yard List & Photo Index. Not all photos are linked here, but the list will give you an idea of what page to check.
Alternatively, the links below will take you to pages with species roughly grouped by type.
