The Eastern Kingbird is one of my favorite species. Perhaps that is because they can be easy to film since they hunt insects by perching quietly atop a fence post or tree branch while in wait. This handsome bird chose to land at the… Continue Reading “Vogue! Mr Kingbird!”
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”
