We spent some quality time at station one in the Bentsen Rio Grande State Park and found it to be very interesting. Usually we just take off on the trolley and head to the bird blinds like everyone else but today we decided to just sit it out. We remained at station one and watched the action. I’m glad we did because a family of Great Kiskadees were in residence for most of the day at the feeders.

Kiskadee, Great, Pitangus sulphuratus. Stocky, short-tailed, round-winged and large-headed with heavy bill. Is found in dense, brush woods near water.

Now this guy is doing some type of food dance. Imagine trying to do those twists and turns while getting food….

This one’s my favorite — dead center in flight with determination. I did learn something. During the whole time we watched these Kiskadees feeding, we never did see them land on the feeder itself. They hovered and ate quickly at the feed holes themselves but never once did they land like other birds. It might be their size, momentum and stuff that keeps them from landing. Other birds just land on the feeder at different angles & directions, but the Kiskadees just seem uncoordinated. They just don’t seem to enjoy their meal like the other birds.

I’ve been doing some experiments trying to catch song birds in action. We’ve all seen those action shots of shore birds pulling out a fish or a predator bird carrying a fish. I think it’s so funny that when you look at an Osprey with a fish in its claws, the fish is always facing forward. One has to wonder, why is that? Is it because the Osprey is letting the fish know where it’s going or is it more scientific that facing the fish in that direction reduces the drag? Who knows? Trying to get action shots of song birds is quite a challenge. This House Sparrow just couldn’t wait for the deck to clear:

House Sparrow, Passer domesticus. These are seen in small groups or flocks and are always near human habitation.

The House Sparrow finally makes a landing:

House Sparrow, Passer domesticus. These are seen in small groups or flocks and are always near human habitation.

When I was experimenting with shore birds behavior, in capturing them in flight and other actions, their movements were fluid and less impulsive. That is still a little of a challenge but yet doable. Now the song bird, that’s another story. First, they’re impulsive, quick in their movements and just plain unpredictable. Also, the speed of the wings of a song bird is fast and depending on the task at hand, even faster depending on their overall size, etc. Whereas a shore bird generally is larger, has a greater wing span, and the speed of the wings beating is more fluid, thus stopping action is easier.  So thinking, how can I practice with the song bird and be assured that there is consistent movement? Well the bird feeder scene! So we spent some time, about ten to twelve hours total, trying to catch this.  So here they are.  Hope you enjoy.

This Great Kiskadee heads for the feeder:

Orange-crowned Warbler – Sounds Like Royalty!

Written on March 31, 2011 Categories: Birds, Seasonal


The “Orange-crowned Warbler” does sound like royalty! These guys sound like royalty but they’re small and drab. They hang out low on trees and weedy fields. The drab plumage does cause some confusion with other species. That’s why I had to send out for a consult with Jim Stevenson of Galveston. I kept on getting these guys totally confused with other birds. To Jim it was a snap! Thanks Jim!

Orange-crowned Warbler, Vermivora celata.  Found at edges of low trees and weedy habitate.

We sat in the blind for hours watching these birds flirting the outskirts around the pond. They were fast but when you look at them close up, they’re quite eye catching. The books may say they’re drab and they may be, but I beg to differ. What’s amazing is the orange crowned-patch they’re named for is rarely seen in the field. That’s why I couldn’t identify.

Nashville Warbler, Vermivora ruficapilla. Found in brushy areas and low woods, often in oaks.

They sure enjoyed the pond.  While we were in the blind, several of them were taking advantage of the pond and enjoying a bath. It’s one of the first times that I’ve spent quality time looking at a bird bathing. That’s when I appreciated I wasn’t a bird trying to wash without the use of hands which can be a little tricky. I couldn’t  believe how fast they were vibrating in the water, being fully submerged for a few seconds in washing up. I tried to photograph them doing that routine so check my website to see some of the results. But, do be thankful that we have appendages to take a bath or a shower!

    I intended to write you that very little note in order to say thanks again over the incredible opinions you’ve contributed at this time. This has been simply strangely generous of people like you to give openly just what a number of people could have sold as an e book to help with making some dough for their own end, specifically now that you might well have done it if you wanted. These thoughts likewise worked to be a great way to be aware that someone else have the same fervor really like my very own to find out somewhat more regarding this problem. Certainly there are many more enjoyable opportunities in the future for people who scan your blog.

Pyrrhuloxia On The Loose! A what?

Written on March 21, 2011 Categories: Birds, Seasonal


The other day we had a chance to visit a photography ranch. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t free and it was a little pricey but we felt we had to try it. We did and it was exceptional. These ranches are not active anymore — just vacant fields with ponds and lots of brushy thickets. What the Ranch owner has done is clear a lot of the brush, put strategically placed branches and most important, set up blinds. Some are sunken, others are surface mounted but all are in good repair and very functional. Most ranch owners won’t allow an individual or shall we say a “Gringo” to traverse his lands without someone overseeing him. That’s where our guide came in…

That’s Janice. Another thing which is important, she had a vehicle that could handle the terrain. Our little Prius would never handle that rough ground! A few years ago we were in Corpus Christi  and had a PT Cruiser, which was pretty rugged.  I traveled the shore lines until one day made the wrong turn and sank in the mud. Quarter of the car sunken in mud! Cost us about $300 to get the car out and it almost didn’t happen. So, I’ve been pretty cautious since that little event! Well, Janice drove us around the ranch of very tough terrain. We selected the blind we wanted to stay in for the next four or five hours. WOW, what a sight!

Janice helped us set up and  left!  Yikes, we’re all by ourselves. Less than fifteen minutes after Janice left, the birds started flocking in — hundreds of them!  Cycling different species flying in about every 20 to 30 minutes at a time. I kept shooting and it was incredible. What stunned us was the Pyrrhuloxias that showed up. It was the first time we had ever seen them and we were fascinated. This is just a sample of the pictures, so get over to the web site and enjoy! Later on we’ll do a slide show about them but for now you’ll just have to enjoy the pictures……

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hi:

    Appreciate you comment but if you point and click on the picture itself it will take you to http://www.lathammediaservices.com web site. From there you can enjoy all the pictures on the site. We continue to build that web site. We’re attempting to introduce the subject on the internet via the blog site for those who wish to view more to http://www.lathammediaservices.com. Otherwise, the blog site would become very slow with all the pictures. Once again, we appreciate patronage and support and look forward to more of your comments!

    Respectfully,

The Green Jay Gets Its Catch

Written on February 16, 2011 Categories: Birds, Seasonal


The Southern Texas area called the Rio Grande, provides some of the most diverse species of birds in the country. Some say even in the world. That might be going a little too far but it is great birding. As we photo document, we also take notes, some of which we post on our blog site at http://lathammediaservicesblog.com. This site is updated on a weekly basis.

The Green Jay pictured  was found at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge at the visitor center. These are perching birds, colorful, very active, found in woody areas and a limited range in the US. Just go north a few miles and you’ll never see them. They keep in small groups calling each other frequently. Feeding on a variety of fruit and seeds as the picture shows. It’s an amazing catch.

Jay, Green Jay, Passeriformes, Perching Birds. These are colorful birds, very active found in woody areas and a limited range in the US. They usually hang out in small groups calling frequently. Feeds on a variety of fruit seeds, and insects. The Green Jay rarely flies long distance.

Now you know that I timed this perfectly when the Green Jay was going for the seed…  Well, not exactly.  It’s the wonders of rapid fire with the camera! These birds are just fascinating because they’re very groupie and mischievous. They’re very common in the most southern portion of Texas so you see them everywhere.  Their behavior is humorous!

Will continue to show these wonderful birds and I’m hoping to catch their interesting antics…..

Latham Media Services has spent hours documenting natural bird behaviors in the field for several weeks. They’ve captured over 2,100 photos of which only 250 photos have made it to their gallery at www.lathammediaservices.com. Take a few moments out of your busy day and enjoy the site! Hope you enjoy and remember, you can buy any of the photos in the gallery just by clicking on the image. This will bring you to the web site, then click the image again which brings you to the gallery and the selected picture. The “Buy” button is at the upper right corner of the main photo! Obviously we hope you’ll buy but only if the photo moves you to do so. Oh yes, don’t forget to join our newsletter. We will be discussing our adventures and offering significant photo packages for your home. Once again thanks for visiting… Tim and Pam Latham”

    I’m impressed, I must say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I’m very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for something regarding this.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

I’ve seen a first — snow and ice in Paradise, the southern tropics! Nothing compared to what’s happening elsewhere in the U.S. but since Texas is without power and the expressways and National Wildlife Refuges are closed, then I have nothing better than to take pictures of the ice and snow encasing our equipment and motorhome. So enjoy some of the pictures…..

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

The above picture is of our motorhome and car encased in ice, not much snow. From inside the motorhome, we are hearing ice falling from the tree above us, providing some spooky background noise for watching scary movies! This next picture is dangerous if we want to get out of our cozy environment…

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

This picture is leading in and out of our Motorhome and it’s full of ice. Kind of like slipping in and out the hard way! The next one is just a lounge chair encased in ice. So much for Paradise!

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

The next picture is another lounge chair but as you can tell, we did actually get snow! Don’t let anyone tell you it doesn’t snow in the Texas southern tropics! It does!

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

This picture is really about the tree just above us in the Motorhome — it’s providing such entertainment inside!

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

Last but not least is the iconic gulf cart in Paradise. Yes, this is encased in ice. No one will be buzzing around today in this buggy!

Date 2/04/2011 Ice Storm Harlingen, TX In Paradise.

Well, hope you enjoyed this, but in no way does this diminish up north getting over 18 inches of snow in one storm. That is just tooooooo much. Now that we have written this, the sun has come out. Hope you enjoy and remember, you can buy any of the photos in the gallery just by clicking on the image. This will bring you to the web site, then click the image again which brings you to the gallery and the selected picture. The “Buy” button is at the upper right corner of the main photo!

Bandit On the Loose! The Masked Northern Shrike….

Written on November 14, 2010 Categories: Birds, Wildlife


This story relates to the first safari of the year in Everglades National Park. We had just finished visiting the notorious Anhinga Trail and decided to follow some of the back roads. We went for miles down this road, passing the research stations and farms that dot the everglades. We came to a dead end on the road we were traveling, but there was an unmarked road or trail to the left and decided to take it. We went about a mile and the wind was pretty strong. We noticed this Northern Shrike just hanging on.

Northern Shrike just a looking at us!

Northern Shrike are uncommon and rare to see so that’s why we were a little surprised to see this guy out in the open. They usually hang out around spruce woods during summer, but during winter, out in open habitats, scattered brushes and trees. When we found this guy, he looked like a bandit doing look-out duty. There were minimal trees and shrubs. In fact this was the only shrub around for a few hundred feet. We stopped and watched him for several minutes.

The wind was pretty strong so that bush was swaying back and forth, going from right to left and he just hung on. The “Bandit” wasn’t concerned about us and continued with his look-out duties. They do perch themselves on high exposed wires or branches, foraging for small birds and rodents. He has this narrow dark mask. He looks like a bandit with white markings around the eye. As we looked closer, we noticed that large bill with a hook! Often wondered how they could kill their prey, but couldn’t really understand how they could eat it. Looking closely at the picture, it’s a pretty sharp hook. So the mystery was over…..

We continued down the road for a few more miles and that’s when we came to a gated area with big Federal and defense signs stating “stay out!” That’s when we realized that we were at a missile silo sight built during the Kennedy era because of Cuba! We looked around. It was pretty much isolated and de-activated, but it looked like they were restoring it. When we got back to the visitor station, we asked about it. They informed us that yes it was being restored and would be open for tours in the next few years.

Been in a couple of those silos elsewhere and it’s quite a feeling. In fact one still had the missile in it. It was de-activated of course but you could still feel the power of that age just by looking at it…..

    Once again, thanks for the comments…



Since we have some down time, we thought we’d do some exploring and one of the places we discovered was “The Old Grist Mill”. How we discovered it was while we were registering at the campground. Above the Manager’s desk was this puzzle mounted on her wall of this Old Mill. Seeing a puzzle mounted on the wall is somewhat rare so I asked about it.

The Old Grist Mill @ T.R. Pugh Memorial Park in North Little Rock, AR. This Mill was filmed in the opening scenes of

It’s “The Old Mill” at R.T. Pugh Memorial Park christened in 1933. It’s a replica of an old, water-powered grist mill. Apparently a developer in 1931, Justin Matthews designed it and contracted to have this constructed. According to him, he picked a “rough and unsightly” ground, which is another way of saying, forested area. The Mill was never in service. It was never designed to be operational but to look like familiar designs of early Arkansas (1800s) and was to appear abandoned, absent of doors, windows and to look like it was decaying, without it being decayed. That’s 20th century logic there….

This building and site has quite a story and history. The most famous of which is “The Old Mill” appeared in the scenes of “Gone with The Wind” which was released in 1939. Take a look at the pictures and see if you can find some resemblance to the opening scene of the movie….

Since that time we’ve captured over 1,000 photos of unique birds and their behavior and are currently writing about them. So, please check often new, interesting, exciting entries will be coming! Once again, thanks for your support!

    I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

A Green Heron That’s Got a Real Attitude!

Written on November 9, 2010 Categories: Birds, Wildlife


Have you ever met up with a Green Heron with an attitude? Well I have! That attitude sure stuck out… We’re still in the Everglades, but further south from the Anhinga trail. If you want the exact coordinates they’re located in the info part of the picture (Meta data). It was kind of a cloudy day found this Green Heron scanning the area all by himself.  He had a great view of the marsh (kind of like spying but no invisible, clandestine behaviors or attitudes here) out in the open, being as bold as ever.

I was studying this Heron for awhile, taking intermittent shots with the camera and in the viewfinder started noticing some odd behavior. With this being an adult, small stocky and hanging around the marsh waiting for the fish, it must have been close to the nest because he was roosting up on the medium size tree. These Herons are somewhat solitary and secretive in their behavior, hence why I say this one was spying. When they get nervous they start making low knocking kuk kuk kuk sounds.

Well, that’s what I thought until this Heron decided to do something very odd! You know as a photographer we all wait for the unique moment. It’s really not so unique because it’s inherit within the species but unique to us because it’s rarely captured. The picture below is rare and unique but not very photogenic! If anyone out their knows what this Green Heron is doing, please respond in the comment section because so far I haven’t been able to find any information on this behavior…..
