Sunny Sunday
I’m so happy to share this video of a Northern Harrier hunting over our pasture. I got some marginal photos of a male Harrier in the same field earlier last week, which I posted. But, they just didn’t do it justice. This is a… Continue Reading “Sunny Sunday”
Workin’ for it
Apparently, the Blue Jays in the north Pond Meadow this winter have accepted my presence, more so at least than in previous years. Last year I ached for one to land on the feeder so that I could film it. But, this year it… Continue Reading “Workin’ for it”
A Handful of Hummers
This morning I went out to the patio to feed my goldfish and fill the nectar feeders for the hummingbirds. There were so many birds that I had to take a quick video. I have several feeders. There are three 16 oz size, a… Continue Reading “A Handful of Hummers”
A Sing-Off!
I have been hearing the song of a Blue Grosbeak nearly every time I go out looking around. This is a species that I ache to film. While I have a few decent pictures, none displays this handsome bird’s brilliance. I usually hear them… Continue Reading “A Sing-Off!”

Sing it!
When I moved down to south-central Illinois from southern Wisconsin, I came to realize there were many bird species here that I had never seen up north. One such bird is the Brown Thrasher. I had never even heard of it. Looking at its… Continue Reading “Sing it!”
Tree Swallow Video
This post adds video to the post I just uploaded describing the interesting behavior of the Tree Swallows at nest box #22.
It’s Hot!
This little House Wren was panting quite a bit when I encountered him in the late afternoon. At first I thought it was a recent hatchling and he was open-jawed awaiting a feeding from his parent. Then I captured him singing. I’m pretty sure… Continue Reading “It’s Hot!”
The Next Generation
Nature is amazing. An example is the Ruby-throated hummingbird. As referenced HERE, this tiny bird weighs just 3-4 grams. In comparison, a US nickel weighs about 5 grams. Twice a year they make an incredible journey – first to winter over in Central America… Continue Reading “The Next Generation”
