Flycatcher – Flycatcher
After some rainy weather, work commitments and fruitless rides around the property, I actually had a nice day yesterday and saw birds I had been hoping to see, didn’t think I would see and which made me wonder what I had seen. At the… Continue Reading “Flycatcher – Flycatcher”
GREEN HERON
Once again, I have been assisted by the IL birders to identify this bird that I saw fly into a tree at the south end of the pond. It was late, I was facing west into the very low sun, so mostly it was… Continue Reading “GREEN HERON”
Mocking a King
When I arrived on the southwest side of the pond, I saw a flurry of activity in the trees. Kingbirds. They were flying about as I had witnessed earlier in the week over in Sham’s Paddock. I figured it was parents with their youngsters.… Continue Reading “Mocking a King”
Find It!
Below you will find a series of photos that contain at least one bird. Your goal, if you choose to accept it, is to find the bird or birds hidden in the image. These are actual photos that I took in the past couple… Continue Reading “Find It!”

Let’s just put it out there for the record. I’m about as amateur photographer as they come. I did acquire a new camera this year because my last camera was malfunctioning. It came with an “upgrade” from a 200 mm to a 300 mm… Continue Reading “Flit – Flit”
Little of This and a Little of That
I never know what I might see when I go out on my drive-arounds. I mean that literally because I am not familiar with every species of bird and I definitely don’t know much about plants or insects that make their home on our… Continue Reading “Little of This and a Little of That”
Mom!
It has been said that a picture speaks a thousand words. To me, these images speak a mere three. “Mom! I’m hungry!” To be fair, one must swap out Mom for Dad about half the time. I’ve been very fortunate to have captured this… Continue Reading “Mom!”
Singing Like a…Sparrow!
The Song sparrows that began singing in my backyard in early Spring had a very simple melody. I called it “four notes and a trill,” for lack of a better term. I’m sure that the ornithologists have more specific and standardized names for various… Continue Reading “Singing Like a…Sparrow!”
