We have recently come back from 2 weeks in Texas and New Mexico. We had a great time, Texas was very hot and New Mexico was very chilly. Following a change of Itinerary we also crossed into Arizona for an hour or two.
Altogether we saw 252 birds, 50 of which were lifers.
One of my pet hates is dates on photos and unfortunately when I was changing camera settings I left the date in. Some I have been able to crop out but not all.

James

ReplyDeletegroetjes Herman.
Una entrada muy variopinta y espectacular.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
What a holiday, a brilliant set of photo's,
ReplyDeleteFantastic images John, looks like you had a great time. (as for the dates if there are any you need removing I could try photoshopping them for you?)
ReplyDeleteI really must travel west to see these glorious birds. Stunning photographs! Congratulations on the 50 lifers!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Julie about travelling west, the images are fantastic and the quality of the light looks fantastic too. I haven't got a clue when it comes to American birds, any chance of a few labels on them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images you captured! (Even though I can't identify some of them). Terrific!! Love your Header too.
ReplyDeleteThankyou everyone for your comments and for simply taking the time to look at our blog.
DeleteAlso, thanks go to James P.Smith for leading a great trip.
I would love to put floating labels on, which I used to do when using the old style blogger, but that doesn't seem to work with the new style,so if anyone can email me an idiots guide to putting them on, I will gladly do it. I have awful trouble all round with the new style blogger,is it possible to go back to the old style for posting? Sue
Beautiful images of Texas birds, and I love your header.
ReplyDeleteHi John & Sue
ReplyDeleteGlad you both had a great trip, and this set of images is just stunning and shows what great birds you saw.
Can't remember how the floating id used to work on the old blogs, and that's why I name my images now.
Hope to see you both soon.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos from a great trip.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi John. If you want to stop anonymous little scrotes like this hijacking your blog to publicise their highly dubious wares, go into Blogger settings, then the comments section, and then in the 'who can comment' section, hit the 'registered users' button and make sure the 'anyone' button is de-selected. It's stopped all my spam from these despicable individuals, but not stopped anyone legitimate from commenting on my blog.
DeleteHi John and Sue. Having got that off my chest about anonymous spam - what a fabulous trip you had. So many absolutely brilliant birds, and stunning photogrpahy to match!! Had wondered why you'd been so quiet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, Just done it. Now if I we could only get posting photos sorted we'd be ok. The appearance on the blog bears no resemblance to the layout in the draft!! must be doing something wrong. Have tried changing to Firefox as suggested by Douglas but it made no difference. Do you or anyone else know how to move pictures around in draft so that they stay there. I find it very hard to just drag them into position, it just seems to have a mind of it's own. Sue and John
DeleteI feel I caused some of your troubles - lol. I had left a comment on what wonderful photos, but didn't know the identity of a lot of them. Thank your for identifying them, but I sure don't know how to solve your picture-posting problem. I never have been able to move photos around manually either.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series of photos.The Roadrunner header is spectacular, and all the different Woodpeckers are a treat to see. I thnk there is something a little prehistoric about your last image!!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments,and for your great advice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the problem is no more.
John and Sue.
Awesome photos! So many great species! We will be traveling to Texas in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy.
ReplyDeleteYou will love it,we had a fantastic time.
Love the USA.
John.
