| Pileated woodpecker. No amount of coaxing would get her to come out of the nest. |

| Black-bellied whistling duck I thought of TexWisGirl while shooting these. My hat's off to her photography on these guys. They were lined up so wonderfully on three different branches of one particular tree; I'm certain Tex would have gotten the perfect composition from it. |

Beautiful scenes all around! Loved the post.
Ms. T has really influenced us in blogland with the Whistlers to be sure. Each time I see one in our area, I think of her.
Fantastic images, as always Gail. I do so love the spanish moss on the cypress.
gorgeous views. love the woodpecker poking his head out. so cute!!! awww!! perfect moment to get his picture.
happy weekend.( :
I alwasy think of Tex when I see pictures of whistlers, too. She has cornered the market. Nice selection of birds and really like the first shot.
LOVE that picture of the Pileated woodpecker sticking her head out of her home :)
the critters are cool...
But I really loved that first landscape shot
These are great miscellaneous images Gail ~
each one such a great shot and noteworthy ..
Really enjoyed them
je eerste foto wat is het daar mooi.
Just beautiful, from the reflections in the water to that gorgeous White Egret!!
Being a fellow Louisiana Belle...I love that 1st shot! Gorgeous capture! All of them are beautiful. Have an amazing weekend my friend...xoxo
Once again, every picture in the set is beautiful. The one of the sweet grebe and its reflection is perfect. Love Mama Pileated in her nest. Do you think she drilled that opening herself? It looks so precise. The shots of the Snowy are amazingly beautiful. Would love to see them in breeding season.
Wonderful shots, Gail, of the lake and its jewels!
Have a great weekend!
Lovely images! The waterscape is gorgeous as are the birds. Love that spoonbill.
How fun is that woodpecker picture!?
oh, gail - if you only knew how many thousands of photos i've taken of these monster whistlers... so many are junked. :) i'm just thrilled you got to see some!
now, the snowy sure is showy in his ultra-dark accents! very cool! and i am SOOOO jealous of your pied-billed grebe! i just love those tiny guys and gals and they've not wintered here the past few winters (guess the whistlers kept them out this winter, for sure!)
You are one with nature! Great and very peaceful photography Gail!!! Xoxoxo
One thing to say: P-E-R-F-E-C-T!
I love nature s2
You have some very fine photos here.
Oh Gail, I just love these photos. Each one is an absolutel delight. Your Pileated Woodpecker, although she would not get off her nest, is a lovely shot and I have never seen a Pied-Billed Grebe. You have made my day with all these pretty birds :)
I LOVE that early morning view! I don't think I have ever seen a snowy egret looking so fine!
Awh, I'm glad you get inspiration from my posts and who you see there. My blog hop is doing well, I have consistent attendees which I am so loving. Now that my surgery is done, I can focus more on my blog again.
I have a new 'pink update' now, did you see that my Stage is a 2. Very curable!!!! Great news!!!
These pictures are great. The Grebe pic could be turned upside-down and still look right.An amazing reflection.
Fabulous shots. Mrs woodpecker is my favorite!
Awesome series of birds and photos. It is hard to pick a favorite, I loved them all. Have a happy weekend!
Such wonderful captures. I love the woodpecker peeking out of his hole.
all in one day, WoW-zers these are really awesome!!
i would think of tex also, if i ever saw a whistler!!
the refection image was my favorite, what an amazing capture!! have a wonderful weekend!!
All such lovely finds and capture but Gail, I had to laugh when I got the to Whistler and thought... she has Tex's ducks! ;)
All amazing shots every single one. But the grebe reflection is heart-stopping. Wonderful.
Wonderful shots! Delightful birds.
Love the woodpecker and those Egrets are so "showy". (Not a typo. I did mean sHowy even though they're also sNowy.)
Welch tolle Aufnahmen wieder. Ich bin begeistert. Es muss herrlich dort sein. So viele verschiedene Vögel. Da möchte ich noch die Stimmen dazu hören. Das wär sicher interessant.

Such wonderful photos my friend! The first shot has such a calm and serene feel to it!! Love it!
Hugs~
Love the grebe! Beautiful photos of the egret, too! Well, they're all beautiful photos!
What a story to be shared between you and Tex.
LOVE< LOVE the pink spoonbill!! Yes - the whistling duck!! I'll have to be on the look out for them on our drive down your way tomorrow/Monday!!
Great ... what a wonderful blog with beautiful birds.
This really enjoy Gail.
Thank you for these beautiful birds.
Oh, these photos were as good as being there myself; no, better because You took me with you where I may not have managed to go and actually observe these scenes and birds while keeping my balance.
Birding via Louisiana Belle. I love it! Thanks!
Beautiful shots of the birds and of the lake. Yep, I'm jotting this one down, too.
Great shots, but I gotta say "no fair"! I want these birds (Whistlers) to come to my pond- hmm...can't you and Tex send just a pair or two north to Arkansas? LOL!
I spend so much time in my car or inside at my computer that I truly appreciate all of your beautiful nature shots. Thank you!
