This is my  three day photographic survey on the migrating and resident birds of Hooks Woods. The woods are in High Island, TX on the Bolivar Peninsula. I went in mid April and set up near  the newly installed water feature each day. As you will see, each day got progressively busier and busier with active birds. As a photographer, I loved the new water feature but most importantly the birds loved it more. In my time there, I was able to chronicle 20 different species at or near the new feature. It was such a wonderful experience and I wish I had more time to photograph additional birds! 

In these galleries, you will see the following birds: Blue-winged Warbler, Worm-eating  Warbler, Swainson's Thrush, Common Yellowthroat Warbler, Yellow-breasted Chat, Tennessee Warbler, Summer Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Orchard Oriole, Gray Catbird, Kentucky Warbler, Hooded Warbler, Chestnut Sided Warbler, Painted Bunting, Indigo Bunting, White-eyed Vireo, Carolina Wren, Black-chinned Hummingbird, Black-and-white Warbler and Northern Cardinal.
