There are some noisy birds out there that love to knock, knock, knock on wood. How these Woodpeckers managed not to have spitting headaches each day amazes me. Can you imagine banging on some hard tree with your little nose, all to get a bug? Knock, Knock, Knock. […]
“Look Ma ! One Hand!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you’ll move mountains.” Dr. Suess: Oh the Places […]
Every birder has what is known as a nemesis bird. Mine was the wood duck. Try as I might, every time I would try to find a wood duck, I came up empty handed. I’d even get messages from a friend and be there 20 minutes later and […]
What looks like a duck, but isn’t a duck? The American Coot! A duck wannabe, they can be found floating along with mallards, and other winter migrating ducks. Found in the winter months along the Chesapeake Bay, these waterbirds fake me out. Their faces look a bit chicken […]
I now know where angels get their wings from. They get them from beautiful and elegant Tundra Swans. With a wingspan over five feet wide, these swans can throw their hefty 20+ pounds into a hit. Can you imagine being hit by a twenty three pound bird with […]

We’re interrupting the regular Duck Dynasty program due to a winter weather warning. Today was a snow day. Not only by the weather outside, but also on my home office desk. So while I watched the beautiful snow fall and the birds busy at the feeders, I was […]
Alas, this poor outdoor girl was forced to work in an office today. It was a good winter day to go duck hunting, but my weapon of choice, a Canon 5D Mark III and the ‘baby” the 500mm F/4 L lens had to stay at home. Believe me, […]
Got another diving duck for you today in this week’s diving ducks in Centennial Lake theme. Allow me to introduce you to “The Canvasback”. As the largest diving duck found in North America, the Canvasback has bright red eyes. Wintering in the Chesapeake Bay and the southern part […]
Along with the many overwintering diving ducks in the Chesapeake Bay, the Bufflehead is frequently seen. A small little duck that is quite shy and quick, they are hard to capture. Many times they are rushing away from me, or really far away. Yesterday at Centennial Lake, I […]
