So Many Bluebirds
Apparently, our little Farm-Gone-Wild is well adapted for Eastern Bluebirds. Sure, we have almost 40 bird houses / nest boxes available to this special birds, but they still need to have what they need to not just survive but to thrive. We have a… Continue Reading “So Many Bluebirds”
Chickadee Surprise
A couple of years ago, I designed new Bluebird / Tree Swallows nest houses after becoming exceedingly disappointed in the wooden models we had put up around the property. Latches broke (allowing predators to reach the chicks – or just allowing them to fall… Continue Reading “Chickadee Surprise”

A Great White – but not a shark
This is a Great Egret. This species is not terribly common in my neck of the woods. We appear to be on the line between breeding area and only migration. I’ve seen one before on our property (last year or maybe the year before… Continue Reading “A Great White – but not a shark”
