Halloween Wild Goose Chase
It all started with a simple, pure white feather. The evening prior to Halloween, Robert came into my office to inform me that he had heard geese on the pond. “What kind of geese?” I asked. But, I knew the answer. He didn’t know.… Continue Reading “Halloween Wild Goose Chase”
Gold Is Always In Season
Yesterday I gingerly opened my office door to the patio. There were birds on the feeders, and I hoped to catch them. Alas, they flew off. I knew the routine. They would come back if I was patient and remained still. It worked. A… Continue Reading “Gold Is Always In Season”
Cute Hat!

It’s been windy here for a couple of days. I’m glad that I took some photos of the fall colors before the leaves were carried away with the gusts. I love this photo of an Eastern Bluebird nestled among the burnt orange leaves of… Continue Reading “Autumn Bluebird”
Country Mouse, I Mean Wren
I was sitting near the apple tree by the entrance to the corridor. After harvesting most of the ripe apples, we hung “store bought” apples on the tree to attract birds, and it was working. I was able to take photos of Rose-breasted Grosbeak,… Continue Reading “Country Mouse, I Mean Wren”
Palms In Illinois
A month ago I didn’t know there was a little bird called the Palm Warbler. And, if I had, I wouldn’t have thought a bird with that name would visit my neck of the woods! Palm sounds so tropical! In the past few days… Continue Reading “Palms In Illinois”
