Our Big Year 2012. BENEFITING THE HOUSTON AUDUBON SOCIETY AND THE KATY PRAIRIE CONSERVANCY. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Holly and I joined some old and new friends at the Purple Martin staging site near Willowbrook Mall in Northwest Houston this evening. The site is one of a handful in town where tens of thousands of PUMAs do their evening roosting ritual, which involves flying around in a huge, swirling cloud before diving into area trees for the night. It is quite a spectacle. Blake and Holly Wright. I shou...

Our Big Year 2012. BENEFITING THE HOUSTON AUDUBON SOCIETY AND THE KATY PRAIRIE CONSERVANCY. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. One of these things is not like the others. Kudos to master spotter Stephan for sending out the alert. Blake and Holly Wright. Monday, August 6, 2012. Hot, but birdy. He quickly skittered into the reeds on the other side, but did a little fishing first giving us good looks at his 'clutch and grab' technique. Our next notable trip comes in late September when we head to San Francisco and...

Our Big Year 2012. BENEFITING THE HOUSTON AUDUBON SOCIETY AND THE KATY PRAIRIE CONSERVANCY. Monday, April 23, 2012. The fallout that didn't happen.

Our Big Year 2012. BENEFITING THE HOUSTON AUDUBON SOCIETY AND THE KATY PRAIRIE CONSERVANCY. Saturday, May 26, 2012. A Week in SE AZ. Sorry for the silence during the AZ trip. Internet service was spotty at best most of the places we stayed. which included Portal, Sierra Vista, Patagonia, Madera Canyon and Tucson (where we are now! Did give Holly this opportunity. We added Lazuli Bunting and Costa's Hummingbird. A trip up Ramsey Canyon netted a Sonoran Whip Snake, but no new birds. We opted out of...We pa...
