I’m sharing some images that I took on June 2 of the Tree Swallow pair that is rearing its brood in House A which is located at the Southwest corner of our property. These birds are such areal acrobats!
About a week ago, I posted about a concern I had when I observed a House Wren entering House E, the one that is located on west side of the far north end of the pond. Prior to that time, I had seen a… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in House E”
This juvenile Common Grackle seemed to have yet learned the art of flying away from a human when I encountered him. He clung to the branch of the Eastern Red Cedar / Juniper tree with what appeared to be no care in the world,… Continue Reading “Only a Mother Could Love…..”
I love the sound of a Northern Bobwhite. They call from all corners of our property. However, they are quite elusive, and I don’t often get to film them. I was lucky the other day. When I was observing the Bluebirds near House O,… Continue Reading “The Northern Bobwhite”
The Bluebird pairs that had used House S (East fence line) and House R (Southeast corner) fledged their chicks a couple of weeks ago. A couple of days ago I confirmed the following: House S has four LOVELY eggs nestled in perfect, grass nest.… Continue Reading “Bluebird Updates”

Over the past few weeks, I’ve filmed a few different Tree Swallow pairs. Here are some photos showing their amazing agility coming-and-going as they incubated and fed their chicks. House J April 23, 2025 House T April 23, 2025 April 27, 2025 This House… Continue Reading “Tree Swallows in Motion”
What a weird name for a bird. The name was first documented in the 19th century, reflecting the bird’s vocalization. When the Dickcissels first arrive here at our place each Spring (which is quite late compared to other species), it changes the entire tone… Continue Reading “The Dickcissel”
Like the Orchard Oriole, that I highlighted in my last post, the Baltimore Oriole also winters in southern Mexico and northern South America. They can also be found during the “off season” in most of Florida and across the Caribbean. A couple of weeks… Continue Reading “The Baltimore Oriole”
