Let’s Do It Again!
Tree Swallows are in the front yard box, again. This is the box that I posted about here: tammierogers.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/kids-helping-their-parents/ Back in April, we knew there were four eggs in the box, and I am fairly certain I observed the parents taking food into the… Continue Reading “Let’s Do It Again!”
Barn Swallows!!
We have always had Barn Swallows around, including those that made nests in our actual barn! Go figure. They also made nests under the eaves of our old house, our training building and here at our new house. But, the nests have never been… Continue Reading “Barn Swallows!!”
Trail Cam – Bluebirds
Below you will find trail cam videos of the Eastern Bluebird pair that is currently feeding their chicks. I acquired the trail cam to catch their fledglings leaving the nest. I sure hope we capture that! After an initial test of the still shot… Continue Reading “Trail Cam – Bluebirds”

The Song Sparrow, a native species appears to be a plain, little brown bird. But, they are more than their boring appearance. Yesterday, a bird landed on the fence near the roses in my little garden. It was very nondescript. But, then it tilted… Continue Reading “Sing Me A Song”
Nest Building Tree Swallows
At the end of April, a Tree Swallow pair arrived, began building a nest in the office yard center nest box, then abandoned it due to House Sparrow issues. I am fairly certain that same pair is the one that set up residence in… Continue Reading “Nest Building Tree Swallows”
Hope Floats
Each spring, well before the temperature is averaging 65 degrees during the day, something I refer to as “hope” happens in my patio pond. At first, I only catch a glimpse of it when the sunlight hits the water just right. Then, day by… Continue Reading “Hope Floats”
Close Your Eyes
It’s hard enough to catch a hummingbird on film. They seem to exist in their own time and space continuum. But, I was able to catch a female Ruby Throated hummingbird, with her eyes shut! Super special.
