Bluebirds In The Ponderosa Pines
There are a few very special places on our property that inspire me. One of them, a place that I have loved since we moved here, is the small group of Ponderosa Pine trees that sit north of the pond. In fact, I adore… Continue Reading “Bluebirds In The Ponderosa Pines”
Apple Tree Trail Cam
A couple of days ago I posted photos that I took of a juvenile Red-breasted Grosbeak that was snacking on an apple I hung in a tree. Here are some Trail Cam video recordings of that bird, as well as other visitors to the… Continue Reading “Apple Tree Trail Cam”
Got It!
A few days ago I posted some pictures of partially eaten apples in the corridor area of the farm. We harvested most of the fruit a while back, but we left the apples that Robert couldn’t reach. I knew they would not go to… Continue Reading “Got It!”

I stepped out onto my office patio and saw this Red-tailed Hawk circling over the backyard. Nice.
Vulture
The crows are assembling, cawing to each other, flying in groups across the autumn skies. If I didn’t absolutely love crows, I think I might find their presence a bit ominous. Their behavior is a sure sign of the impending change in seasons which… Continue Reading “Vulture”
Taunt Me No More
When I first discovered that there was a pair of Blue Grosbeaks on our property, it was the female that showed up first. She was on the ground at the end of the corridor, quite a distance away. But her warm, cinnamon color and… Continue Reading “Taunt Me No More”
