Warbler migration seasons is quickly quieting, and these charming and beautifully decorated birds won’t be seen again until the spring migration. There’s still hope that I’ll manage to find some later this week, so in the meantime I keep watching the garden to see what I can find. […]
Teeny, tiny little things that zip frantically in the trees looking for bugs. Ruby Crowned Kinglets love to summer in Canada and winter in the southern United States. Trying to photograph these little guys is really an exercise in futility. Rarely sitting for more than a moment, they […]
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 must admit, now that the hummers are here I’ve been a bit addicted to constantly being on the outlook for them. I have definitely confirmed that there are at least two of them, and perhaps up to four that buzz in and out of my garden. They’ve […]
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!
The tiny hummingbird is so strong and fierce. This teeny thing travels thousands of miles, wings fluttering in a blur. Taking nearly 250 breaths per minute and a heart rates up to 1250 per minute. The smallest bird in North America, the Ruby Throated Hummingbird is fueling up […]
