The best day of birdwatching locally that I have ever had, Maybe the best day of birdwatching overall. I am not one who usually subscribes to the belief that everything happens for a reason. But, I do think if things happen for a reason they lie more in the mundane everyday aspects of life than they do int the big amazing miraculous ways. And I was able to enjoy this amazing day… Read More

I have developed a great fondness for birds over the years of my photography. I always enjoy seeing new and different birds. The more you spend time watching birds the opportunities to find new birds are fewer and farther in between. You’ve now seen all the obvious birds. To find birds you haven’t seen or don’t see often you may have to look closer. Look deeper. Small birds are often overlooked or… Read More

This is more of I know it when I see it kind of… Read More

My wife and I were able to get out for a nice trip up to one of my favorite birding spots, Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. We usually expect to see a lot of Osprey and Bald Eagles on our trips there, but they stayed away for the most part. We could see Osprey flying high in the sky off in the distance, but they never came close for good looks or photographs.

Nature begins to reclaim the earth in ways that shriveled… Read More
I have come to enjoy birdwatching so much over the years. It was never something I would have anticipating enjoying. Even as a biology major who was interested in biology mainly because of a love of animals I never thought I would enjoy walking outside and looking for birds.

Yesterday was a fun day. We ended up goin gout for an impromptu birdwatching trip up to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was abuzz with bird song of every variety. The fast moving tiny warblers were among the birds singing. It is often easier to hear them than to see them. Especially seeing them well enough for a good look and photographs. On today’s visit the Yellow Warblers were all over…. Read More
