Howdy, Y'all. I just discovered this site and joined right up. Here's a shot from the central part of Texas of a native but reclusive bird. I had never seen one before and nearly fell over when he came in close.

That's a beauty John. I told you that we had a bunch of nature shooters here (second biggest forum on the Cafe).

I look forward to many more.

Hi John,
What a great picture. I sure would be proud to have one like that on my wall. It looks like a tropical bird. Love the colors.
