What’s For Dinner? What!?
I’m happy to report that the Eastern Bluebird couple that has nested in Matt’s box (front yard near the young fruit trees) has been taking food to their new chicks for about ten days. On 7/11/20 I posted a photo of the female standing… Continue Reading “What’s For Dinner? What!?”
I Can’t Refuse Sharing this
On my way back to the house this afternoon, I saw this incredible bird in the tall grass near the entrance to the yard.
The Blue Grosbeak
For a few days I have been observing a female Blue Grosbeak in nearly the same location every afternoon. At first, I was only able to snap a very grainy photo, but it was sufficient to recognize her extremely large bill. After getting a… Continue Reading “The Blue Grosbeak”
A Two-For
There are times when I have been focused on one bird and upon review of the images on my desktop computer, I discover a second bird in the same shot! I attribute this phenomenon to the fact that I have very old eyes. However,… Continue Reading “A Two-For”

Hungry Mouths To Feed
On June 30 I posted photos of two Bluebird nest boxes which contained lovely blue eggs. Well, they hatched. I haven’t opened the boxes, but the parents of both nests are taking food to their young. We refer to the next box in the… Continue Reading “Hungry Mouths To Feed”
A Dead Thing With Two Birds
Two days ago, when I checked the Bluebird nest box at the east gate to Jaye’s pasture, I discovered something I did not expect! It was a little mouse…and a bunch of his turds. I tried to encourage him to exit, but he retreated… Continue Reading “A Dead Thing With Two Birds”
Lookie Here!
In my post, Who’s Out There? from July 6, I wrote that I hadn’t yet filmed the Great Blue Heron that I see quite often as he flies from the north end of the pond when I enter that area. His massive wings flap… Continue Reading “Lookie Here!”
