There’s a little switch on the top, right of my camera. It toggles the operation from standard photography to video. Whether I choose to flip that switch can mean the difference between having to explain what I saw, and providing a visual movie of… Continue Reading “Two Wrens and a Catbird”
I suppose it’s because the Cottontail Rabbit is a game meat that its population dynamics have been studied ad nauseam. The numbers of these cuties fluctuates quite cyclically. Having lived at this property now for twenty-four years, I’ve come to recognize “big bunny years”… Continue Reading “It’s a Bunny Year”
This house was used by House Wrens earlier this season – but not to raise their chicks. Rather, they filled it with large twigs, which isn’t unusual for that species. The behavior reminds me of my life in Chicago back in the 80’s. I… Continue Reading “More Bluebirds – House “C””
I’ve been observing this pair of House Wrens that chose to build their nest and raise their chicks in a hole that is located in an old fence post. The cavity was created when the gate hardware fell out of the post years ago.… Continue Reading “Natural Cavity Nester?”

In a recent post I titled YELLOW, I was excited to announce that I had finally captured a few images of the elusive Yellow-brested Chat… rather than filming a speckled, yellow leaf! Since then, I’ve been able sleuth out a Chat a few times.… Continue Reading “Let’s Chat”
I’m sharing some images that I took on June 2 of the Tree Swallow pair that is rearing its brood in House A which is located at the Southwest corner of our property. These birds are such areal acrobats!
About a week ago, I posted about a concern I had when I observed a House Wren entering House E, the one that is located on west side of the far north end of the pond. Prior to that time, I had seen a… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in House E”
