The Quandary
This Blue Jay, filmed on New Years Eve, has a problem. He cannot decide which snack to snatch. Fortunately, he was able to make a choice. He selected a plump, protein rich peanut!
May I Have A Different table?
The continuing saga of my attempt to capture images of the Red-tailed Hawks and the American Crows via our Butterball Turkey lure are most recently chronicled HERE. After a day of rain and temperatures in the 50’s yesterday, today it has plummeted to 20… Continue Reading “May I Have A Different table?”
Size Matters
Yesterday before noon there was mostly sun, with intermittent clouds. The trail cam that was set up by the “Butterball Diner” turkey lure had been running during the night and that morning, so Robert retrieved the SD card and I began the review (more… Continue Reading “Size Matters”
Here… Birdy, Birdy
I love crows. I think of them as the Border Collies of the bird world – they are clever, creative and beautiful in their sleek, jet black feathers. My love for the bird may also be the fact that early in my life I… Continue Reading “Here… Birdy, Birdy”

I have become increasingly smitten with the White-crowned Sparrows that seem to be sticking around for the winter. They are outrageously photogenic – which for me means they sit still while I get the shot in focus! Their feathers of many colors also result… Continue Reading “Fruit, Nuts and Worms”
Can We Expect You?
While I was sitting at my desk, a Northern Mockingbird landed on the lights that I have strung across my office patio. I had never seen that before. I have observed Mockingbirds in nearly every corner of the property. During the summer season, they… Continue Reading “Can We Expect You?”
My Little Chickadee
It’s amazing how a phrase from a movie made in 1940 is still remembered, eighty years later. “My Little Chickadee” was a movie staring Mae West and W.C. Fields and was produced twenty years before I was born – and I’m old! My little… Continue Reading “My Little Chickadee”
Good catch
Snap. Snap. Snap. Three images. A juvenile White-crowned Sparrow has sights on a different branch. The Mockingbird seems oblivious to his travels.
