I’ll Take It To Go, Thanks.
I was surprised when we put out our turkey lure (the situation of some debate) that we didn’t catch very many night visitors. What it tells me is that our property (and the land around us) only sustains so many individuals of a given… Continue Reading “I’ll Take It To Go, Thanks.”
Mockingbird
During the heat of the summer, I frequently saw Northern Mockingbirds in several areas of our property. They became one of my favs because they were willing to stay still in one place while I honed my skills using a camera. It wasn’t unusual… Continue Reading “Mockingbird”

Peanuts are a coveted food source at my bird feeders. Many species take advantage of their high fat and protein content. But, not all birds eat them the same way. The Blue Jays and Northern Mockingbirds tend to swallow shelled peanuts, whole. The Red-bellied… Continue Reading “How To Eat A Peanut – Titmouse Style”
