“Rustic”
I have come to accept low-light days as those which may yield a more artistic or “rustic” image. As the sun hasn’t been generous of late, I share these arcadian images with you of some lovely birds – regardless of the lighting.
Baker’s Dozen of Sparrows
When I started looking at birds on my property, I didn’t really think about keeping tabs on them all. Heck. I actually only really thought there were the common birds like Cardinals, Robins and Sparrows that lived in this part of the world. When… Continue Reading “Baker’s Dozen of Sparrows”
Making A Home
The House Wrens arrived last week. I could tell by their melodious song. Last year a pair made a home in a box near the Alleyway, which is centrally located on the property. This year, they are smitten with a new box we put… Continue Reading “Making A Home”
A what?
This is a Dickcissel. It’s a very colorful, small bird that migrates into my area to breed in summer. They are known to make their living in alfalfa or clover fields. I suppose any grass pasture will do, since we have many of these… Continue Reading “A what?”

It’s A Coot
A couple of days ago, around sunset, in a light rain with overcast skies, I traveled by the pond. I didn’t have a camera, and I was just trying to get out of the house for a few minutes before dark after an exacerbating… Continue Reading “It’s A Coot”
Mama and Papa
This is exciting! The Bluebird pair in Box #15 on the East property line are feeding chicks. Here are a few photos as well as a couple of videos at the bottom. This daddy takes his job very seriously. He remains in constant contact… Continue Reading “Mama and Papa”
Frequent Visitors
From my office doors I can view the north end our of pond meadow. I sometimes witness the Great Blue Heron or the Blue-winged Teal coming and going. Recently, I’ve observed a pair of Canada Geese that fly in from a location northwest of… Continue Reading “Frequent Visitors”
