Red-tailed Hawk
I spotted this bird from about 700 feet away, and I knew that I probably couldn’t get much closer to try and get a better shot. I was right. I took a few pictures and then tried to move another 20 feet. I only… Continue Reading “Red-tailed Hawk”
Tree Swallow Videos
House “U” Could this be a lesson in, “You snooze – You loose!”? The chick seemed ready for lunch, but since it wasn’t available when Dad showed up, papa just took off. I wonder if this is a way for the parents to encourage… Continue Reading “Tree Swallow Videos”
Mama! I’m Hungry!
Tree Swallows are busy, busy, busy. Their second broods of chicks are getting close to becoming fledglings. House G This house is located on the west side of the pond, about 40 feet from the water that it faces. House U Located on the… Continue Reading “Mama! I’m Hungry!”
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”

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””
Tree Swallows of House A
I’m sharing some images that I took on June 2 of the Tree Swallow pair that is rearing its brood in House A which is located at the Southwest corner of our property. These birds are such areal acrobats!
Bluebirds in House E
About a week ago, I posted about a concern I had when I observed a House Wren entering House E, the one that is located on west side of the far north end of the pond. Prior to that time, I had seen a… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in House E”
The Northern Bobwhite
I love the sound of a Northern Bobwhite. They call from all corners of our property. However, they are quite elusive, and I don’t often get to film them. I was lucky the other day. When I was observing the Bluebirds near House O,… Continue Reading “The Northern Bobwhite”
