Taunt Me No More
When I first discovered that there was a pair of Blue Grosbeaks on our property, it was the female that showed up first. She was on the ground at the end of the corridor, quite a distance away. But her warm, cinnamon color and… Continue Reading “Taunt Me No More”
Flycatcher – Flycatcher
After some rainy weather, work commitments and fruitless rides around the property, I actually had a nice day yesterday and saw birds I had been hoping to see, didn’t think I would see and which made me wonder what I had seen. At the… Continue Reading “Flycatcher – Flycatcher”
GREEN HERON
Once again, I have been assisted by the IL birders to identify this bird that I saw fly into a tree at the south end of the pond. It was late, I was facing west into the very low sun, so mostly it was… Continue Reading “GREEN HERON”

A Bluebird pair that was displaced by House Wren in Box #13 at the north end of Jaye’s Pasture succeeded in finding alternate accommodations in Box #14 at the north end of the East fence. It was fairly late in the season, so I… Continue Reading “What’s Going On At Box 14?”
Mother N’s Jewelry Box
Wow, right? If you were a jeweler, you could design a ring, broach, necklace or earrings inspired by any of of Mother Nature’s precious gems. I am so fortunate to live alongside these jewels.
Take My Picture
On occasion I get the feeling that the birds around here understand my gig. “Tammie’s on her way out to the Pond Meadow, if you want your photo taken, now’s the time to get over there!” On the contrary, when I go out with… Continue Reading “Take My Picture”
