From the Park
Mallard (female) I spent time this week at a nearby park photographing the water birds and other wildlife. I have so many photographs I’ll need to share them in several posts. I’m also planning a hike for sometime next week and hope to have mountain views to share with you, as well. A quick note: […]

New Feeder Frolics
Carolina Chickadee About a week and a half ago, I received a new tube-style bird feeder, courtesy of Kingsyard. What I like about it: It’s the only feeder that I think is pretty enough to hang in the front yard. The food stays dry, even during heavy rain. The birds love it. I love photographing […]

I mentioned in my last photography post that summer is very much “finch season” in my backyard. The American Goldfinches, in particular, visit so frequently that I hang a finch feeder from June through early September, filled with Nyjer seeds and sunflower chips (some of their favorite foods).

Here, I chose to focus on jays, finches, and a few other species, like the Brown Thrasher above, who I either haven’t shared or haven’t shared much of in awhile. […]

Input & Output
Hibiscus Flower I’d like to begin this post with a short apology. (I was hoping not to have to write an introduction like this, but I am afraid certain things can’t be helped.) At the end of April, I left home for a few weeks of traveling. In terms of the blog, I had planned […]

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
I’ve been enjoying photographing the hummingbirds lately–or trying, as both their size and speed pose some inherent challenges. For those who aren’t familiar, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the most common species of hummingbird in eastern North America. Individuals range in length from 2.8-3.5 in (7-9cm) and weigh approximately 0.1-0.2oz (2-6 g). They migrate to Central America […]
