I have to do a little bragging on my friend, Cindi Barker, who won grand prize in the adult division of Featherfest in Galveston on April 1, 2009.
FeatherFest 2009 www.galvestonfeatherfest.com/ is Galveston's seventh annual celebration of the birds and natural heritage of the Upper Texas Coastal area, in spring. The Birders Bazaar is a special opportunity for vendors to interact with festival birders. The festival is held the first week of April. While not the peak of the spring birding migration season (which occurs in late April, early May), the timing provides an opportunity to see a great mix of bird species. Visitors will see the earlier spring migrant species plus the bird species that winter on the Gulf coast and which have not yet departed for their breeding grounds to our north. A multitude of species can be seen, more than 200 bird species might be tallied during the 4 days. It is fun to see which birds visitors added to their lists in 2009. The Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council (GINTC), a community-based volunteer organization, was formed in 2004 by a coalition of Galveston residents, many of whom had been involved over the previous two years in FeatherFest, an annual Galveston birding festival.
So, CONGRATULATIONS!!, Cindi, and keep shooting. You have so much creativity and never give yourself enough credit for the great works of art you turn out. I remember when we were reviewing all the shots of these birdies and you were so frustrated you didn't get the right shot. Looks like someone thinks you did. GREAT JOB!!

Wow, what a surprise! Thanks so much for your support and encouragement. I can't remember not liking some shots of those 2 from way back in July. I do remember that I couldn't believe they flew away in 2 days and left me with an empty nest! How do you find out all the information that you post on this blog??? You are a pretty amazing photographer yourself and I am glad we can go out shooting together, you always push me out of my comfort zones!
