I'm going back to some of my earliest wildlife images. These are scans from old prints and slides. This is the best I could do to adjust the color balance on these old images*. The day was cloudy and drizzly. The Fall of 1984 was a crossbill invasion year in Texas. There were many scattered reports across the state. I photographed these crossbills at a feeder and in a sycamore tree at the home of a neighbor of Egan & Sue Wiedenfeld outside of Boerne, Kendall Co., TX. My field notes indicate we saw 3 males and 1 female on this date. One male and one female are on the seed feeder in the 2nd photo. I left that location and drove to Big Spring, TX, by late afternoon where I saw additional crossbills (see separate observation). [* Update: I swapped out my c--- first photo of the crossbills at the feeder for one corrected by Greg. Many thanks.]
I'm going back to some of my earliest wildlife images. These are scans from old prints and slides. This day had heavy overcast and light drizzle. This is the best I can do to adjust the color balance on these old images. The late Fall of 1984 showed a widespread invasion of crossbills in Texas. I had just seen and photographed a few in Boerne, TX, on this same morning and had driven to Big Spring to chase a Greater Pewee reported there earlier by Mark Lockwood. Upon arriving at the city park south of town, I found as many as 20 foraging on arbor vitae cones in the park. These are the only usable images I obtained of those birds. (My image of the Greater Pewee is even worse.)
