The White-Crowned Sparrow
Sadly, these very gregarious little sparrows will be leaving for their breeding grounds up in Canada shortly. So, to honor them and the joy that they have brought to me all winter long, I am going to post some photos from the past month… Continue Reading “The White-Crowned Sparrow”
Couple Up cardinals!
The number of species that spend the winter here on our property isn’t very extensive. Many that do winter here will leave for more northerner areas to breed. But, the Northern Cardinal is here all year long. Recently, I’ve heard the males begin to… Continue Reading “Couple Up cardinals!”
Squirrel!!!
We have very few squirrels on our property. The ones we have are mostly comfortable in the trees, more than on the ground. And, they seem to be huge! They also appear to be a different species than the smaller squirrels that tend to… Continue Reading “Squirrel!!!”

Disheveled
Poor little Carolina Wren is getting a bit tousled by the intense wind as she clings to the branch of a small shrub and attempts to do a bit of preening. I’m happy to have captured these images. When I first saw movement in… Continue Reading “Disheveled”
Two-Headed Cowbird?
The late afternoon sun reduced the definition and the two male Brown-headed Cowbirds appear to be one bird, with two heads! Brown-headed cowbirds are often viewed in a negative light because of the way they make a living. Using a strategy referred to as… Continue Reading “Two-Headed Cowbird?”
Carolina on My Mind
In my last post I mentioned how I strive to take photos of our “backyard” birds in their most natural setting. However, it’s been winter and the local birds that stick around have been taking advantage of the food we have provided at feeders.… Continue Reading “Carolina on My Mind”
