Great Blue Heron Hiding In the Mangroves ©Debra Martz
Perhaps it thought it was in hiding, but they are so large that it is rather difficult to go unseen. Captured from a boardwalk over some wetlands on South Padre Island, Texas.

Meet the Common Pheasant: Nature's Flashiest Ground Bird!

With its shimmering copper, emerald, and gold feathers, the male Common Pheasant is a true showstopper. Originally from Asia, these birds have made themselves at home across Europe, including the Netherlands. You'll often spot them in farmlands, grasslands, and woodland edges.

Despite their ability to fly short distances, pheasants prefer to run, using their strong legs to dash through underbrush. Their diet is diverse—seeds, berries, insects, and even small reptiles are on the menu.

During spring, males gather harems of females, who nest on the ground and lay up to a dozen eggs. Chicks grow rapidly, taking their first flight within two weeks!

Keep an eye (and ear) out for their distinctive crowing and sudden bursts into flight. The Common Pheasant is a vibrant reminder of nature's adaptability and splendor. All About Birds

Clay-colored Thrush Landing by Debra Martz

"Curious Winter Wren" by Debra Martz
Like any Wren I’ve ever watched, this one was curious, too. It was under rocks, between rocks, in the vegetation, hopping in the water puddle, and exploring every knook and cranny in the area. Finally, it briefly stopped!

A vibrant orange and black Oriole perches on a tree branch, surrounded by a web of branches and green leaves. Sunlight filters through, highlighting the bird's striking plumage.
The largest of the Orioles in the United States. However, this vibrant Altamira Oriole is a tropical species with only a tiny portion of its range reaching the U.S. in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley. They hop between branches and fly quickly between trees, gleaning insects and larvae. This one finally paused briefly for me.
