A Turkey Vulture was noshing on something in the tall grass until he spotted me and took flight. And then he was gone.
This Eastern Bluebird couple fledged their first brood from a different nest box a couple of weeks ago. Then, a House Wren pair took possession of the box and they are incubating eggs there. Now, these handsome Bluebirds are checking out this wooden box… Continue Reading “How About This One?”
The art of calmly ignoring is a craft worth developing for use in many relationships. I teach dog owners that their puppy will mirror their energy. If they want a calm dog, they need to remain calm, themselves. I think this Eastern Bluebird father… Continue Reading ““Dad!!!!!””
While to some this bird may seem drag, its coloring is absolutely outshined by its amazing vocalizations which are reminiscent of tropical jungle melodies. It’s in the same family as the Northern Mockingbird, and it can mimic other birds’ songs like its relative. It… Continue Reading “The Oft Elusive Gray Catbird”
I entered the pond area through the southwest corner entrance, turned north and stopped fairly quickly in a small patch of shade. The place was filled with bird songs, more than I could separate from the each other. I didn’t want to disturb them.… Continue Reading “Ruby Jewel”

At AllAboutBirds.com I read, “As the season progresses their nests can… Continue Reading “House Wren Arachnophobia”
The Northern Bobwhite, named for the sound of its call, which only sounds like “bob white” if you know that’s what it’s called (well, at least to me), is a type of quail that resides in the Eastern USA from Florida to Minnesota and… Continue Reading “Northern Bobwhite”
Sitting in the golf cart in the near middle of a 20 acre hay field, I was filming a Bluebird couple that appeared to be interested in establishing residency in Box O, near the old water hydrant. I was enjoying the warm, brilliantly sunny… Continue Reading “Where’s Yo Mama?”
