Hello to all from the southern gulf coast region of Texas. We enjoy a warm climate most of the year;so we have an abundance of birds,butterflies,moths,insects and other critters all year long! I have been studying nature seriously for about five years and have recently added photography in order to help in identifying what I find.We have a small urban yard which we use to attract as much wildlife as we can.We had a large hatching of Monarch butterflys in our yard last week so I'm thinking of another mild winter. I maintain hummingbird and other bird feeders year round and like to take pics from our patio. I also enjoy hiking the numerous wildlife preserves in our area and identifying what I find for my personal photo albums. I hope that ya'll can help me with ID questions from time to time and perhaps I can contribute to this forum also.
