In the U.S., White-winged Doves are located primarily in Texas and along the Mexican border in the southwest portion of the U.S.  They're difficult of photograph because they never seem to go the same place twice.  Their eyes are one of the prettiest out there. Scientific name: Zenaida asiatica

This is a male Pyrrhuloxia.  It is primarily a "Mexican Bird."  In the U.S. Pyrrhuloxias are found only along the Mexican border in the states of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.  Some call the Pyrrhuloxia a "Mexican Cardinal."  That is somewhat true because Cardinals and Pyrrhuloxias are cousins.  The male Pyrrhuloxia is a strikingly beautiful bird. Scientific name: Cardinalis sinuatus
Dutch name: Grijze Kardinaal
English name: Pyrrhuloxia

Texas is one of the few states Painted Buntings migrate to in the Spring.  The southeast portion of the US have Painted Buntings that reside there the year round.  They look just a bit different than the P.B.s that are in Texas. Scientific name: Passerina ciris

Female Northern Cardinals are sometimes overlooked for the brighter counterparts.  They are still very attractive birds.  A little known fact is that the Cardinals in South Texas are a subspecies of Northern Cardinals in the northern portion of the U.S.  The male Cardinals in Texas are a brighter red and the female has more red in her feathers.  Both the male and female have a larger crest. Scientific name: Cardinalis cardinalis
Dutch name: Rode Kardinaal
English name: Northern Cardinal

It's generally difficult to get a clean image of a STF because they usually land on fences and power lines.  This is a male.  You can tell that because the males have much longer tails.  In the US, they are primarily in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. Scientific name: Tyrannus forficatus
Dutch name: Zwaluwstaartkoningstiran
English name: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

Een onvolwassen mannetje en een vrouwtje Painted Bunting lijken op elkaar. Deze begint een beetje rood en blauw op het lichaam te krijgen, dus het kan een onvolwassen mannetje zijn. Het zal een paar weken duren om het zeker te weten. Scientific name: Passerina ciris
Dutch name: Purpergors
English name: Painted Bunting

English name: Long-billed Thrasher
