Woodpeckers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The colors on woodpeckers are often all similar, but with slight differences to patterns. The Red-Bellied Woodpecker is a larger variety of woodpecker. I love the monochrome appearance of the Red-Bellied Woodpecker with the burst of flaming red color atop the head. Such a beautiful bird perched on a tree branch looking off into the distance.

It is so cool to watch animals living there lives. What is more essential to life than eating food. This image captures a Pileated Woodpecker eating grapes off the vine. I love the large body of the Pileated Woodpecker hanging from the thin grape vines. You can see the Pileated Woodpecker plucking a grape from the vine. The motion of the Pileated Woodpecker’s head as it picks a grape to eat is… Read More

Even if you add a feature designed to specifically attract a certain animal it doesn’t mean you will actually see that animal. I put up a Purple Martin house in hopes of attracting Purple Martins. However to date that has not occurred. What has transpired instead is… Read More

I love the view of this Rose-Breasted Grosbeak as it is about to lean in and take a piece of food from the birdfeeder. The Rose-Breasted Grosbeak is another one of those birds that I’ve seldom seen for the most part. Then all of a sudden one season I saw Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks a lot. They were regular visitors to my backyard feeders for a season. I had so many opportunities to watch… Read More

Its hard not to like colorful birds. When there is a burst of color at the bird feeder it can quite literally brighten up the day. If you enjoy seeing wildlife. Set up a birdfeeder wherever you can. If you want to photograph wildlife. Set up a birdfeeder wherever you can. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/1000 sec. f/5.6.

That is the case for Pine Siskins. It was a long time before I saw my first Pine Siskin. Then it just seemed over the years I have been seeing them with increasing frequency. There are… Read More

Some birds you see all the time. Some birds you see only a couple of times ever. Common Redpolls are cool looking little finch type birds. I have seen them on four occasions. The last time I saw one was in 2013. I have not seen one since. I love the little bits of dappled sunlight hitting the Redpoll in this photo. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm…. Read More
