Some kind of mimosa or sensitive plant?

Thanks!

I have something similar in my backyard that I think I've identified as Rose Glorybower

Thanks for the correction.

Some kind of katydid

These are what I commonly call "bluebells"

Thanks Mitch!

It seemed to be pretty mobile, walked around and through a shallow pond and then made its way up into this low branch. I didn't see if it was able to fly up into the branch or if it walked up the sloped trunk. Either way, I think it was glad to have a water source during this oppressive TX heat as of late.

I'll add a better view of it's long beak and neck...def not a vulture

It was so beautiful! Wish I could have gotten a closer photo.
