Bob Shackleford’s Stunning Pictures of Colorful Birds

  Many people post a variety of content on their personal Facebook pages, but Bob Shackleford posts the many varieties of birds that come to visit his bird bath and bird feeder and the colors of these birds are stunning. 

 “I’ve been a birder for most of my life, but really got into it after retiring about 12 years ago. I love photography, so it seemed natural to combine the two. Uvalde is a fantastic birding destination and I meet birders from all over the nation who come here to enjoy our variety of birds.” Shackleford said. 

“ Right now I’m taking most of my pictures here at my place south of town. I am getting out and finding some birds, but it’s awfully hot. I feed a variety of feed. 

  For the Buntings, I am feeding Millet right now. I also feed Sunflower seed, whole corn, Peanut Butter suet cakes, homemade bark butter and a wild bird mix.   Right now, my biggest draw is water. Birds are thirsty and hot and stay busy at my bird baths and water troughs.” he said.
