Galveston Texas

Just ran into this guy the other day. Never saw or heard of one before.

Driving down the road in one of my usual spots I came across this guy. At first I thought it was a tree branch lying in the middle of the road and then it started to move. I got out and took a couple of shots and then I realized that it was a water Moccasin or Pit Viper. I quickly got back in my car and finished shooting from the window.

Thanks everyone now I can recognize one more species. There are so many on the Island.

Thanks 007

Shot in Galveston Texas

I Think we will all get over it.

If something I’m doing bothers you just don’t respond.
Thanks for all your help!

I’m in Galveston Texas. On the West End of the island there is a lot of pasture land in the center of the island for Cows and horses. Huge areas of wetlands surrounding most of the island. There are a huge number of birds most of the year. I’m more into photography than birding but the birds make such good subjects and it’s quite a challenge to get that perfect shot. I find that the more I know about them the easier it is to find them.
I see you are from S.W. Pennsylvania. I grew up in Pittsburgh. The Forest Hills, Wilkinsburg area.
Small world. I don’t know how I got listed as in hiding and I don’t know how to change it.

Anyway thanks for the help

Thanks I'll do that and let you know what it is

Can anyone let me know what this bird is. Doesn't quite match Osprey or Peregrine Falcon. and is not a White Tail Kite. any one have a guess??

just a couple of pix with my new lens.

Great Shots what lens did you use. What Camera.

I ordered a new Canon 70D my first brand new camera. It was delivered this past Friday. Then on the same day out of the blue my Tamron 150-600mm lens that I have been waiting on for three and a half months shoed up about two hours later. What am awesome combo. The auto focus capabilities of both are Incredible.

This is a feral cat.I see him when i'm out shooting birds. He must weigh about 12 to 15 Lbs.

All that happens after lightroom recognizes the memory card.
in my case light room does not recognize that the card is in the computer. But it stil works with the T2i.
