Gotta Love Me a Robin’s Nest
This one has been built in a pear tree in our little orchard, in the same place as last year. I remember being a little kid as my mother reached up and held a hand mirror over a Robin’s nest that was built on… Continue Reading “Gotta Love Me a Robin’s Nest”
It’s Not Just About the Birds
My last post presented a fairly long list of amazing birds that I was fortunate to film over the past couple of weeks. When going through the files of pictures to create that post, I realized that I had capture a number images of… Continue Reading “It’s Not Just About the Birds”

Grumpy Start to the Season
It’s Spring and that means that many wild birds that spent their winter somewhere warm and tropical, are headed back to spend the summer breeding season up north. The tracking of migrating birds is a big deal for ornithologist around the globe. Some species… Continue Reading “Grumpy Start to the Season”

Around mid-February Robert and I took advantage of a sunny day with temps above freezing to do a bit of tree pruning. We didn’t get around to it last year, except for the fruit trees, so we drove around in the golf cart visiting… Continue Reading “Don’t Be A Stick In The Mud – Or Do!”
