Our weather is warming up now, but a couple weeks ago we had a cold snap with temperatures in the low 20s. One of those cold mornings I went to the wetlands,…

First time I've ever seen a woodpecker's tongue! I'm not sure what kind of tongue I expected a woodpecker to have, but this was not it. :) After doing some…

These aren't my sharpest captures, but red-winged blackbirds have been on my bucket list for such a long time. Such pretty birds! I don't see them often here,…

I don't usually have much luck with birds in flight, but sometimes an opportunity comes along and I have to try anyway. This was a lovely surprise!

Above is my first picture of a ruby crowned kinglet, from last year - not the best photo, but can you see why I fell in love with that angry little face?! It…

When I first started tracking this little bird, I saw a tiny flash of yellow and black and thought it might be winter goldfinch. The body and wings are somewhat…

Not the best angle for photos, but it was still fun to watch this cardinal pulling seeds from his perch in a tulip poplar tree.

The first thing I heard as I was waking up this morning was the cry of a red shouldered hawk. There are several living in our neighborhood, and sometimes…
