90 Seconds of Red-Headed Woodpecker Work
I showed this video to my husband and he said, “what’s he doing?” I’m not sure if he’s excavating a hole where he plans to invite a female to lay eggs. I’m not even sure it’s a male. I’m not sure if he’s working… Continue Reading “90 Seconds of Red-Headed Woodpecker Work”
A Week of Images
I’ve been busy with normal stuff, but I’ve also had time to go out around the property to see what’s happening. Yet, I just checked and my last blog post was April 8. That’s almost a week ago. I have beautiful things to share,… Continue Reading “A Week of Images”
A DOZEN SPARROWS
Before I started traveling about our property in search of the wildlife that makes a living or simply drops by for a visit here, I really didn’t know about the variety of bird species that use the resources we have on our acreage. In… Continue Reading “A DOZEN SPARROWS”
Birds
Here is a series of images I captured over the past couple of days. The temperature was in the mid to upper seventies. There was plenty of sunshine, a little too windy for my liking, but still they were a couple of exceptional Spring… Continue Reading “Birds”

Why Don’t You Stay For A While?
We put up a couple new nest boxes a few days ago. I was happy to see that a pair of Chickadees decided to consider one of them for a summer residency. These round, “birch-look” boxes were on clearance at the local farm store.… Continue Reading “Why Don’t You Stay For A While?”
Wow!
Yesterday, during a full sun – but pretty chilly day – I observed many Tree Swallows. I was fortunate to captured their amazing flight and relationships on film. These images turned out very interesting, not just because of the incredible subject matter. The nest… Continue Reading “Wow!”
They’re Looking At Houses!
I am absolutely thrill to see a Bluebird couple checking out a nest box. A few days ago I saw a male on the box, but not his mate. I thoroughly enjoy watching them “apartment hunting.” The male checks out a possible nest box.… Continue Reading “They’re Looking At Houses!”
I Don’t See You
Have you ever been so hungry that a woodpecker can crawl under your armpit and watch you eat, and you don’t even see it? This Fox Squirrel seemed less than interested in the Downy Woodpecker that literally hopped under his shoulder!
