"Mockingbird the Texas State Bird" by Debra Martz
It's actually the state bird for several US states, including Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas, where I saw this one while hiking and bird-watching.

Pretty Mrs Cardinal by Debra Martz
As I walked along the trail, I initially spotted the male, and shortly thereafter, the female emerged just a bit further down.
Seen while birdwatching on a trail in Estero Llano Grande State Park in southern Texas.

Zwergtaucher im sanften Morgenlicht

Dieser wunderschöne Zwergtaucher (Tachybaptus ruficollis) gleitet elegant über die ruhige Wasseroberfläche. Im warmen Licht kommen seine braunen, samtigen Federn besonders gut zur Geltung. Zwergtaucher sind ausgezeichnete Taucher, die sich vorwiegend von kleinen Fischen und Insektenlarven ernähren. Ein faszinierender Moment der Ruhe und Schönheit in der Natur.

Widespread in the Neotropics but ventures into the U.S. just at the southernmost tip of Texas. This image was captured in the tropical zone of Estero Llano Grande, a state park in south Texas.
