Special Session of the House Finch Assembly
Apparently, I came upon a special session of the House Finch monthly meeting. They are so lovely!
Winter Friends
Some bird species migrate long distances between the breeding and non-breeding seasons. Others are full time residents. Here are a few birds that I consider welcome friends during our chilly winters. We live on a line between the Black-capped Chickadee and the Carolina Chickadee… Continue Reading “Winter Friends”
Dark-eyed Junco
These cuties spend their summer breeding season up in Canada. They come home to our neck of the woods in winter. These are the first two I have seen this season. Viewing the top picture, I am always happy when a bird lands in… Continue Reading “Dark-eyed Junco”
Scoundrels
When you hear the term “invasive species” you may think of Burmese Pythons living in the Florida Everglades as a result of intention releases or escapes of pet snakes into the somewhat fragile, one-of-a-kind ecosystem. The subtropical wetlands are currently found nowhere else on… Continue Reading “Scoundrels”
Bees versus Birds
Yesterday, I posted about the House Finches that stopped by to enjoy the fresh fruit I hung in a tree. I retained a few photos to present in this post, in order to share the talent of one of the finches. When I first… Continue Reading “Bees versus Birds”

Snow Birds
As the summer avian residents depart for the tropics, it gets very quiet outdoors around here, both in sound (the birds’ songs) and visually. I can move through an area and not scare up a bird. Just as I am starting to feel a… Continue Reading “Snow Birds”
Cattails & Blackbirds
Sometimes the backdrop for a photo is as pleasing as the actual subject. I feel that way about these photos of a female Red-winged blackbird that flew into the stand of cattails near the west end of our pond. Cattails are synonymous to swampy… Continue Reading “Cattails & Blackbirds”
Old Guy Pelican
I’ve been away from this Blog for a while. I was preparing for and then participating in our 20 year anniversary trip to the panhandle of Florida. While on vacation, I wasn’t able to capture as many images as I had expected – mostly… Continue Reading “Old Guy Pelican”
