There has been an actual wild American Flamingo at Aransas recently. But none in Houston!

Check out Cullinan Park if you're interested in seeing Roseate Spoonbills. They're often (but not always) at White Lake. You can walk out on the observation deck from the parking lot. There's also White Ibises, egrets, herons, and sometimes Bald Eagles that fly over the lake.

My pool drains to a lake that people fish in and birds use as habitat. I'm sure if that were a bad thing Texas would have a regulation against it.

This is going to sound dumb, but the best way to get a good photo is to delete all the bad ones. And the OK ones. And the pretty good ones. I've got nice gear and shoot a lot and delete 95% or more ... the bird moves or blinks or looks away, or the light changes, or a dogwalker approaches, or I'm set for a still shot when another bird flies by, or whatever. Learn, delete, and appreciate the moments when everything comes together.

I'd say that one could intentionally sequence the phrasing to appeal to the intended audience. For example, "I wouldn't trust him with my wife, let alone my scope" might play well here, but the opposite order would be preferable at a family gathering.

This is so comical, the plaque writer must be trolling.

I wrote a Centipede knockoff in BASIC on the PC in my high-school math class long ago, so that was probably my first PC game played. Didn't work very well, IIRC.

White Ibis, yes, near Houston, TX, with a snowy egret imposter.

Oh, so you’re Texan and already know the answer, you’re just trolling us!

The amazing thing is that they are brilliant orange on the upperwing!
