Snapshots
The sun finally shined on a couple of days when I was available to go out and about the property and observe some of the birds that are singing up a storm, now that it’s their breeding time. A Handsome Red-winged Blackbird posed on… Continue Reading “Snapshots”
A Little Splash of Color
I am happy to share images of a few colorful birds that brought a bit of pizzazz to an otherwise fairly brown winter day, here. This handsome male Northern Cardinal decided to perched a bit more outside of his typical preference of shrubby cover.… Continue Reading “A Little Splash of Color”
Mr. & Mrs. Christmas Greeting
This lovely pair of Northern Cardinals visited our feeder yesterday. I thought they would make perfect holiday greetings!
SPRING HAS SPRUNG

The tongue-beak dexterity of this female Northern Cardinal is quite impressive. Birds that crack open seeds and nuts have a very well developed tongue. I know this from having parrots as pets. A parrot’s tongue is a powerful muscle. It feels more like a… Continue Reading “Can’t Win ‘Em All”
Couple Up cardinals!
The number of species that spend the winter here on our property isn’t very extensive. Many that do winter here will leave for more northerner areas to breed. But, the Northern Cardinal is here all year long. Recently, I’ve heard the males begin to… Continue Reading “Couple Up cardinals!”
