Red-tailed Hawk
I spotted this bird from about 700 feet away, and I knew that I probably couldn’t get much closer to try and get a better shot. I was right. I took a few pictures and then tried to move another 20 feet. I only… Continue Reading “Red-tailed Hawk”
Tree Swallow Videos
House “U” Could this be a lesson in, “You snooze – You loose!”? The chick seemed ready for lunch, but since it wasn’t available when Dad showed up, papa just took off. I wonder if this is a way for the parents to encourage… Continue Reading “Tree Swallow Videos”
Mama! I’m Hungry!
Tree Swallows are busy, busy, busy. Their second broods of chicks are getting close to becoming fledglings. House G This house is located on the west side of the pond, about 40 feet from the water that it faces. House U Located on the… Continue Reading “Mama! I’m Hungry!”
Eastern Meadowlark Call
When I see them atop a tree, I usually hear Meadowlarks presenting their “song.” While I hear it nearly every time I go out and about the property, I don’t recall a time when I saw a Meadowlark present it’s “call” (which I refer… Continue Reading “Eastern Meadowlark Call”
128 Species and Counting
To be honest, when I first started blogging, I didn’t really know the difference between a POST and a PAGE. “Birds In Our Backyard” is a PAGE on my blog because it’s not often updated and deserves a link that is easy to access.… Continue Reading “128 Species and Counting”

I had set my camera to the video setting, when I noticed something just beyond the birdhouse. There was a Brown Thrasher perched… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in House “R” – Second Brood”
A Feather Bed for Swallows
I hadn’t been out to the north end of the property for a while. The last time I had checked on House “U” was to dump a massive mouse nest from the Gilbertson’s box. It was the third time I had evicted mice from… Continue Reading “A Feather Bed for Swallows”
“Do You Feed the Birds?”
Asking other wild bird lovers if they feed the birds that visit their property is probably a fairly common question. Folks want to learn about what foods attract which species. They discuss the costs or the best places to purchase a specific type of… Continue Reading ““Do You Feed the Birds?””
Baby Bluebirds Are Amazingly Cute
I didn’t see these little birds’ parents when I came upon them near the old barn. They appeared to have some sense of security to be with each other. Still, when they flew to a tree about 100 feet from where I encountered them… Continue Reading “Baby Bluebirds Are Amazingly Cute”
A Little Bit Windy
This is an Eastern Bluebird pair that I haven’t posted about, yet, this season. These birds are using House W, which is located on the northern property line. The house faces more east than makes it optimal for filming, since I typically can’t get… Continue Reading “A Little Bit Windy”
