I must admit. I’m addicted to warblers. I think they are the most darling birds ever. But they are tough to photograph. Really tough. They are little, they are high up in 30 to 40 foot trees that are filled with leaves. Add to that, they are in […]
All good things come to those that wait. Seems that Sunshine has mastered the art of sitting still as a statue under the bird feeder waiting for our feathered friends. Surely I could take lessons from her as while waiting for the birds to come in, I fidget. […]
I was out early with the bunnies and birds last week. A small park just outside of Baltimore named Cromwell Valley Park is for some reason is a magical spot for migrating warblers in the fall. A small stretch within a tree canopy next to a dry stream is […]
With a hint of grace and elegance, a statue Geisha Girl pours life giving water to the wildlife at the manor. It’s always full of surprises with the visitors that come and go. Both those with feathers and those with fur visit for refreshment. But best of all […]

In Finis Pond at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge has a small family of Green Herons. All waiting around by the marshy waters waiting for breakfast to arrive. Waiting, watching, waiting for the perfect moment. Then BAM ! Breakfast is served!
Good morning ! Wondering what you’re doing today. Got anything fun for me to eat? I’ve been running around the garden, wondering where the butterflies are. It’s time for the Monarchs to pass through and I’m looking for those bright orange beauties. Here’s one – all by itself […]
