As I walked along the trail, I initially spotted the male, and shortly thereafter, the female emerged just a bit further down.
Seen while birdwatching on a trail in Estero Llano Grande State Park in southern Texas.

A Pair of Green Jays Deep in Trees by Debra Martz
Green Jays are a bit skittish and prefer to stay deep in the trees.

These brilliant green, yellow, and blue jays are birds of the tropics whose range barely stretches to southern Texas.

Image capture in Estero Llano Grande State Park in Texas.

The Common Pauraque by Debra Martz

Yellow-Rumped Warbler Up High by Debra Martz
They are fast birds, fluttering out from a tree to catch a flying insect & quickly moving on to the next. It finally took a brief pause and I snapped the shutter. This image was captured at Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, Texas in February.
