A few birds from our birding trip to the Texas gulf coast during May 2016.
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher – Tyrannidae – Tyrannus forficatus. East End Lagoon Preserve, Galveston TX.
Swainsons Hawk – Accipitridae – Buteo swainsoni. Anahuac NWR, TX.
Purple Gallinule – Rallidae – Porphyrio martinica. Anahuac NWR, TX.

Seems so long ago! But what results for the wait! I don’t recall any past Gallinule photo that better captures the absurdity of this bird’s leg to body ratio.
