Straw vs. Sticks
This isn’t a story of the three little pigs. Rather, this is the saga of the House Wrens versus the Bluebirds. It’s a somewhat sad story. For that reason, I want to make something clear. Although I was a scientist for twenty years (working… Continue Reading “Straw vs. Sticks”
What’s For Dinner? What!?
I’m happy to report that the Eastern Bluebird couple that has nested in Matt’s box (front yard near the young fruit trees) has been taking food to their new chicks for about ten days. On 7/11/20 I posted a photo of the female standing… Continue Reading “What’s For Dinner? What!?”
Silent Observer
I was in a corridor between an overgrown field and, well another overgrown field. It is the place where I have spotted the Blue Grosbeak couple many times. I have also seen a Hairy Woodpecker, Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe and various other species… Continue Reading “Silent Observer”
I Can’t Refuse Sharing this

There are times when I have been focused on one bird and upon review of the images on my desktop computer, I discover a second bird in the same shot! I attribute this phenomenon to the fact that I have very old eyes. However,… Continue Reading “A Two-For”
Imprint Process Failure?
While I was sitting near the stand of grass where the Indigo Buntings frequent – trying to get some good shots – I heard this tiny chirp. Then, another and another until I was able to locate the source. It was an itty bitty… Continue Reading “Imprint Process Failure?”
Brilliantly Blue!
There’s a small stand of tall grasses not far from our house to the north. Often, when I am coming back to the house from a drive around the fields, I catch a glimpse of blue. There are a few Indigo Buntings that seem… Continue Reading “Brilliantly Blue!”
Doe, A Deer
She saw me before I saw her. Her reaction was to remain still. Mine was to turn my camera her way. She couldn’t be reckless, there was a fawn at her side. But, she remained just long enough for me to snap a few… Continue Reading “Doe, A Deer”
