Interesting Image
Bees and other insects visit the apples that I hang for the birds. But, it appears this one isn’t happy about it. Here are a few other shots of this House Finch snacking on the apple.
If you Hang It, They Will Come
There’s that wonderful quote from the Field of Dreams movie, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, after the local critters consumed the final couple of apples we left on the tree in the corridor, I decided to hang additional fruits to support… Continue Reading “If you Hang It, They Will Come”
Blending In
The Eastern Bluebirds hang out in the area by the Ponderosa Pines, but they are not always obvious. Take a look at these wide angle versus zoomed in images.
Autumn Song
To me, this image that I captured at the north end of the pond a few days ago, sings Autumn! Literally. While the broad spectrum view of the scene shows all the colors and textures of a fall day, the bird I was shooting… Continue Reading “Autumn Song”

After offering the few remaining apples on the tree in the corridor to the wildlife, I learned that birds (specifically Rose-breasted Grosbeaks) were taking advantage of the fruits until eventually, the apples were no more. I hung new apples on clothes hanger wires and… Continue Reading “Lovely”
The Finches At Sunday Brunch
“Tree for two. Your table is ready for you, Mr. and Mrs. Finch.” About two weeks ago I noticed that a couple of the remaining apples on the tree in the corridor had become snacks for a critter. I put up a trail cam… Continue Reading “The Finches At Sunday Brunch”
What A Schnoz!
I was surprised and happy to see ducks moving across our pond yesterday. I quickly pulled out my camera to capture a few images (albeit with back-lighting from the late afternoon sun.) I wasn’t expecting what I saw. As they lifted their heads out… Continue Reading “What A Schnoz!”
