Two weeks
were spent traveling around Texas, from the Edwards Plateau, Davis Mountains,
Big Bend National Park to Brazos Bend State Park and the Upper Texas Coast. A
lot of miles were covered, 3300 miles, in just 2 weeks and a fair number of
species were racked up, at least three quarters of the species were
photographed to varying degrees of quality with some of the highlights provided
here.
A lot of
days were cloudy whilst the woodlands were dense so little light penetrated to
the floor so higher ISO's were needed on more than one occasion, I had to put
it right up to even stand a chance of the singing Louisiana Waterthrush in the
rain at Lost Maples. As a result of many low light, high ISO, days some images
have become a little 'noisy' but some very pleasing shots were obtained nonw the
less. A more extended set than the usual 15-20 images provided in parts 1 and part 2
