This morning I saw a pair of Ringed kingfishers apparently courting. We've seen the female quite a few times, but this is the first time that we have seen a male. For a while I thought they were going to copulate, but they must have realized that someone was watching, and decided to fly downstream for privacy. On the way home, I saw a pair of courting Green kingfishers. Apparently spring is in the air.
Last Sunday we got some very nice looks at a Zone-tailed hawk, the first time in several months.

Got to observe two pair of Orchard Orioles at my feeders near Cypress Creek this afternoon.

Walking along the river in the morning, we got good looks at the Ringed kingfisher that's been around for the last couple of months. At one point he or she flew by with a small fish. Unfortunately, the looks weren't good enough to determine sex. We also got good looks at a Spotted towhee, and a red-shafted Northern flicker.
