Sunsets and Deer
Sunsets, Deer & Dancing Spanish Dagger has been in bloom for about 3 weeks in extreme south Texas. The “pitas” or yucca blooms come on so early that the season often slips by before I realize it. This year, I was determined to photograph them and maybe even try a little light painting just after sunset. Of... »
Spring
Spring is Coming This has been one of the coldest, wettest winters I can remember over the past 21 years. Spring will be especially welcomed. Surely, wildflowers will abound and wild birds will be headed our way. We are already seeing yuccas in bloom throughout this part of the state in spite of the cold. I hope to spend a good... »
Llano Eagles
The Llano River Eagles posted by Wild Ed at Wild Ed’s Texas Outdoors – 1 day ago Today my wife, my brother and I decided to take a field trip to see if we might be able to catch the Llano River Eagles home at the nest on Highway 29. I had driven by a couple... »
Rays of Sunlight
Rays of Sunlight in a Gloomy Winter There are a lot of photographers who prefer cloudy days over sunny ones for their photography. For me, it’s just the opposite. I prefer shooting the first and last hour of the day when the light is warm. Certainly, this winter in south Texas has been testing my patience; it has been downright gloomy since October. ... »
Game Camera Fun
More Fun With Our Trail Camera posted by Wild Ed at Wild Ed’s Texas Outdoors – 5 days ago I knew I would be laid up a while from an upcoming surgery so at the end of deer season I took a bag of persimmons, from a Japanese persimmon tree in... »
Wildlife and Birding Trails
Texas Wildlife and Birding Trails posted by Wild Ed at Wild Ed’s Texas Outdoors – 16 hours ago The older I get the more hunting I seem to do with my camera instead of a gun. One reason is dressing out game is work, so unless I have a true trophy... »
Hawk Migration
Pat Townsend Sr. took these photos of a hawk migration down in South Texas. I am not sure what type of hawks make this trek down south but will research and find out. Click on the photo to get a close up. »
Our Camp Pet
El Maso has a new camp pet. It seems this snake has decided to take refuge under a water tank right in front of the camp house. I believe it may be a blue indigo but will have to research some info on it. Thanks to Pat Townsend Sr. for catching the threatened animal... »
Graves’ Eclectic Mix
An Eclectic Mix I’ve been working on a few projects lately… A shoot for Outdoor Life and Purina Feeds have kept me busy over the past two or three weeks but I’ve also been doing a mix of other personal and editorial work as well. MORE »
Block Creek
Autumn Tour of Block Creek Natural Area MORE December 9th, 2009 A couple of weeks ago, three other photographers and I spent three days shooting fall foliage and other subjects on the Block Creek Natural Area near Comfort, Texas. For most of us, the temptation was strong to focus on birds. The first morning, we were working a nice red... »

The Butterfly Capital of North America
Butterflies have become such a huge part of the Rio Grande Valley that it was named the “Butterfly Capital”. Richard Moore shares his latest Nature Report and shows why that title is deservedly so…….Enjoy “Corona Butterflies”. »
Hummers on the Wing
Hummers on the Wing September 29th, 2009 Late last week, we finally got a weather front strong enough to create rain. With it came a fresh wave of migrating hummingbirds, mostly ruby-throated and black-chinned, through south Texas. Our resident buff-bellied hummingbirds seemed to enjoy the slightly cooler weather. At our house, the birds were sharing three feeders…most of them preferring a... »
