Steve is an active volunteer for Houston Audubon where he supports the North American Rare Bird Alert (NARBA). He has provided this support since 1996. He has been published in the British magazine Birdwatch, and his photos are in use on several web sites. Steve has a deep appreciation of nature that is rooted in the many hours he has spent with his parents and grandparents in outdoor activities. His first recorded outdoor activity took place at the ripe old age of 15 months. His parents were enjoying the spring waterfowl migration along the Missouri River in southwest Iowa. Whenever he would see a duck or goose, he would call out “tintail” (now better known to Steve as a Northern Pintail), and forcefully turn the head of anyone close enough to see the bird. Steve still likes to share his nature observations with others, but now he prefers to do so via digital images. He purchased his first high quality SLR camera and telephoto lens in 1994. Bird life represents his favorite subject area, but scenery, flowers, and other wildlife are also well represented in his galleries.

  • Birds of Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE BIRDS OF SHELDON LAKE STATE PARK AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTER A FIELD CHECKLIST 2017 Cover: Illustration of Great Blue Heron by Rob Fleming. INTRODUCTION heldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center (SLSP) is about 20 miles northeast of downtown Houston, one of the country’s S largest metropolitan areas. During a workweek, trucks and trains sail past SLSP going to or from industry nearby the park. Daily commuter traffic flows past the 2,800 acres of habitat placed just off the road. Corporate jets and airplanes fly overhead arriving and departing from Bush Intercontinental Airport with travelers from all around the world. Needless to say, this piece of habitat is a natural island in a sea of city and industry. The history of SLSP dates back to the early 1940s. A Works Progress Administration project created Sheldon Reservoir in 1943 as a water supply for industries along the Houston Ship Channel in support of the war. At the conclusion of WWII, the reservoir was transferred to the City of Houston and used as a surface water supply. With the completion of Lake Houston in the early fifties, the city sold the reservoir and adjacent land to the Texas Fish, Game and Oyster Commission, which later became Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The area was managed by the TPWD Wildlife Division as Sheldon Wildlife Management Area (WMA). A few years later, the Sheldon State Fish Hatchery was added in the southeast corner. By the late 1960s, with the encroachment of the City of Houston, Sheldon WMA was designated surplus and daily management operations were shut down.

  • Lake Houston About 15 Miles Northeast of Houston, Texas, the Train Passes Over an Enormous Lake
    Lake Houston About 15 miles northeast of Houston, Texas, the train passes over an enormous lake. Lake Houston is a reservoir on the west fork of the San Jacinto River. Though not very deep, at the lowest point reaching 45 feet, the lake covers an astonishing 11,854 acres. The lake was created in 1953, when the City of Houston determined it was necessary to impound a reservoir to replace the existing Sheldon Lake, which had been the primary source of water for the city of Houston. Around this same time, the City of Houston sold Lake Sheldon to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for use as a waterfowl sanctuary and for public fishing purposes. The state of Texas prides itself on being a Mecca for fresh and salt water fishing, attracting anglers from all over the country, and saw the lake as having great potential for a new fishing area with its diverse fish population. In Lake Houston conservationists and fishermen can find species of fish such as catfish, white bass, largemouth bass, crappie and sunfish. Catfish and white bass are favorites of licensed anglers in Texas, but blue catfish remain the dominant sport fish in the lake, and can be found in the channels of the east and west forks of the San Jacinto River that flow into Lake Houston. During the spring, the impressive white bass make their spawning run in the east and west forks of the river, creating a perfect opportunity to catch one of these impressive fish. If fishing is not your fancy, Lake Houston is a beautiful area that is home to many species of birds and other wild animals.
