Here… Birdy, Birdy
I love crows. I think of them as the Border Collies of the bird world – they are clever, creative and beautiful in their sleek, jet black feathers. My love for the bird may also be the fact that early in my life I… Continue Reading “Here… Birdy, Birdy”
Cool Images
I’m coming clean. Back in the day, when I worked in Corporate America, I was a judger. When I walked up to a co-workers cubicle,I tried to refrain from judging. But, sometimes my mind slipped and I would think, “enough already with the kid… Continue Reading “Cool Images”
Sing ME A Song
The weather had been lovely, including sun and warmth that is higher than normal for December. The rain arrived today, but I was still able to capture some pretty birds over the past few, extraordinary days. These little birds are Song Sparrows. They are… Continue Reading “Sing ME A Song”

Bird Feeder Option
I have all sorts of bird feeders, from nyger seed socks to house-like gravity feed styles. My preference is the platform type because it can accommodate more birds, and I can film straight across the platform. There’s nothing obstructing the view. Many of the… Continue Reading “Bird Feeder Option”
Art
Somewhere between the thrill of getting a focused image of a bird I had never seen and today, a transformation has happened. I am still thrilled to encounter a new species and document it through photography. My species total stands at 79 birds I’ve… Continue Reading “Art”
