November 1! Holy Cow Where has the time gone?

End of September brought some good photo opportunities...

Peregrine Falcon allowed me to get close enough for a change on the entrance road to the refuge


Loggerhead Shrike entertained us as we worked the VIS


Neotropic Cormorant and Snowy Egret perch above the canal near the VIS 


This photo really shows the classic field mark for NECO


I love bugs, don't have an ID on this pretty jewel yet. 


Entrance road was abloom with Salt Marsh Mallow


and Shoveler Pond was covered with lotus


and more lotus



Volunteers do many jobs on the refuge, mowing along Shoveler Pond so we can view the water more easily. 


Purple Gallinule adult plumage


and immature, love those long toes. 


Pied-billed Grebe


First Lark Sparrow of the season



Black-bellied Whistling Duck family


Always something for see at Anahuac NWR. 

Next, catch up  time for October
