Today after work I left one of our garage doors open for a little while, and two little gray catbird fledglings found their way into the garage! The poor things…

St. Andrews Park is a birdwatching paradise. I don't think I've ever seen so many different kinds of birds in such a small space of time before. There were…

Eastern phoebes are common where I live - I see them in the yard all the time - but it's not often that I can get close enough for decent photos. This one let…

Hard to tell in this lighting, but one of the blue-headed vireo's distinguishing characteristics is a bluish gray head. Other identifiers are the white eye ring…

Mockingbirds must be curious about people. Of all the birds I see where I live, they are the only ones I can count on to sit still long enough to see what I'm…
