Bell’s Vireo
The cute little bird, Bell’s Vireo, is very common at our farm. I hear their song in several locations around the property. They spend their time in the underbrush and wild raspberry bramble, and they are small, so I rarely get to see them.… Continue Reading “Bell’s Vireo”
Bluebirds at House “J”
Birdhouse “J” is located north of our farm pond, in a low area where, during heavy rains, a temporary stream forms which funnels the run off into the pond. I wasn’t sure if the birds would like this spot – as it’s low, but… Continue Reading “Bluebirds at House “J””
128 Species and Counting
To be honest, when I first started blogging, I didn’t really know the difference between a POST and a PAGE. “Birds In Our Backyard” is a PAGE on my blog because it’s not often updated and deserves a link that is easy to access.… Continue Reading “128 Species and Counting”
Bluebirds in House “R” – Second Brood
The Bluebird pair that fledged chicks from House R, at the southeast corner of our property, are feeding their second brood. I had set my camera to the video setting, when I noticed something just beyond the birdhouse. There was a Brown Thrasher perched… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in House “R” – Second Brood”
They Love Fruit! We Have Fruit.
Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, Northern Mockingbirds and several other fruit-loving species are plentiful here at our farm-gone-wild. I am guessing it’s in part due to the number and variety of wild Mulberry trees we have all around the property. Mulberries berries don’t… Continue Reading “They Love Fruit! We Have Fruit.”
“How About This One, Sweetie!”
I thought this male Eastern Bluebird was Vogue-ing for me! As it turned out, it was for his mate. She was up in a nearby tree looking down upon him with a very discerning eye. I think he was suggesting the birdhouse he was… Continue Reading ““How About This One, Sweetie!””
Two Wrens and a Catbird
There’s a little switch on the top, right of my camera. It toggles the operation from standard photography to video. Whether I choose to flip that switch can mean the difference between having to explain what I saw, and providing a visual movie of… Continue Reading “Two Wrens and a Catbird”
More Bluebirds – House “C”
This house was used by House Wrens earlier this season – but not to raise their chicks. Rather, they filled it with large twigs, which isn’t unusual for that species. The behavior reminds me of my life in Chicago back in the 80’s. I… Continue Reading “More Bluebirds – House “C””
Bluebirds
The Bluebird couples in Birdhouse R and S, on the East side of our property, have fledged their chicks! Yesterday, I saw a male Bluebird in the tree that sits quite close to House R, so I suspect that he and his mate are… Continue Reading “Bluebirds”
Neighbors Raising Broods
Everything I’ve ever read about Eastern Bluebirds is that they are quite territorial and that they will only set up house at a distance of at least 300 feet from another breeding pair. I’ve always thought that the range of any species is dependent… Continue Reading “Neighbors Raising Broods”
