One of the most prevalent species in East Texas is the Black-Bellied Whistling Duck. These birds have some of the most unusual roosting habits that I've ever seen. They will stand almost perfectly still for hours on end, even when awake. Since they tend to gather in fairly large numbers, this makes them an interesting bird to photograph.
