New Beginnings
A few days ago, Robert and I were traveling around the property doing a bit of birdhouse maintenance when I spotted four Tree Swallows soaring in the high winds over Sham’s Paddock (on our Eastern property line.) I thought it was quite early to… Continue Reading “New Beginnings”
Purple Love
We purchased our first, farm-store Purple Martin house back in 2020. Just days after erecting the red-barn style house, Purple Martins moved in. Since then, each year the number of Purple Martins that come to our place to raise their broods grows. In response,… Continue Reading “Purple Love”
Chickadee
I encountered this Carolina Chickadee couple checking out accommodations for raising their new brood. So cute! I live in the small zone where the Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees territories overlap. The Merlin Bird ID app reports both species vocalizations quite often when I record… Continue Reading “Chickadee”
The Patio Pond
First published as a “page” when I created this blog back in 2019 because, well, I didn’t really understand the difference between a page and a post back then. I’m tidying up my blog and this content truly is best categorized as a post.… Continue Reading “The Patio Pond”

In fact, yesterday I spotted this lovely: I know… Continue Reading “Iconic Sign: Spring is On It’s way”

I’ve been struggling with a strange issue posting to WordPress. I’ve not been able to post for a few weeks. It’s been a weird process to try to resolve the problem, but I think my husband has figured out the issue and this is my second… Continue Reading “Watercolors”
Take A Break
This Mourning Doves is the images of tranquility, even during the very cold chill of winter. … … I took these photos out my office window, where we feed the birds on the office patio. Warmer weather is coming! Tomorrow will finally be above freezing.
A Little Splash of Color
I am happy to share images of a few colorful birds that brought a bit of pizzazz to an otherwise fairly brown winter day, here. This handsome male Northern Cardinal decided to perched a bit more outside of his typical preference of shrubby cover.… Continue Reading “A Little Splash of Color”
Winter Residents
After a few weeks, I finally had the time to get out and about on our property to see what’s going on! Due to other business constraints, I felt sad that I missed the tail end of the Fall migration during which time there… Continue Reading “Winter Residents”
