Camo – No Camo

This is a Song Sparrow. They are sweet, little birds that stick around all winter. In the summertime, true to their name, they sing…. let me rephrase that, THEY SING! But, in winter, unless I look very closely, I would completely miss them. Rather… Continue Reading “Camo – No Camo”

Tidy Red-Tailed

[I can’t change the title now, but I have learned that the hawk in the video below is an Immature Red-shouldered Hawk, not a Red-tailed hawk. edited 1/12/21] We have had far more raccoon, opossum and cat activity at our Butterball Diner (aka Turkey… Continue Reading “Tidy Red-Tailed”

Sing ME A Song

The weather had been lovely, including sun and warmth that is higher than normal for December. The rain arrived today, but I was still able to capture some pretty birds over the past few, extraordinary days. These little birds are Song Sparrows. They are… Continue Reading “Sing ME A Song”
