I finished processing all of my photos from Friday and still have a few that I either outright don't have a clue on ID or have a clue, but not a warm fuzzy. :O)

They were all shot on 21 Jan 2011 in the morning at Brazoria Nat'l Wildlife Refuge (Texas Gulf Coast roughly 60 miles SW of Houston).

This is the only photo I got of this bird and it is pretty bad. I think it is some type of owl. It was rather large and flew behind a stand of trees and heavy undergrowth, so I only saw it for a few seconds. I thought it was a hawk, but the photo looks more like an owl to me.
