Back in April, I posted this pic of a male pileated woodpecker hunkered down during a snowstorm in a dead tree on the edge of my property. I had hoped that he was scoping out the place for a potential nest site. I've never seen the female pileated,...

Male and Female Ruby-throated Hummingbirds ... 200+ shots and an hour and a half of standing very still to get only one of each that I like ... worth every minute!

I hope this post doesn't cause any upset--just sharing because I found it interesting. This is a young, female, domestic Muscovy duck with a badly broken left leg. Her owners (who have had her since she was a duckling) found her in their yard, unable...

When recently I needed to don my garden hat I was quite out of luck: 7 microbats had snuggled in for the day, which became a 5-day visit, at which point they probably had caught up with their mob.

The local paper published two of my bird photos in today's edition! And they only referred to me as a "him" once (presumably because of how my first name is spelled--I get that all the time ?)

My first goose eggs of the year.

White-faced heron in the hills.

Today, I was lucky enough to observe a raven chasing a bald eagle.

I am the beloved choice of mate for an umbrella cockatoo and an african grey parrot. Does anyone else have any psitticine companions, ot have any questions about what living with large birds is all about?

He's nothing fancy or exotic by any means, but this was the best, coolest, funniest, most loyal bird I've ever had. The late, great Squidgeon.

Today I scored a Scarlet tanager and a Prothonotary warbler.

Most non-birders won’t get this...

Varied Thrush, one of my favorite birds, I find woodland hues have a elegant subtlety more handsome than the gaudy displays of peacocks and parrots. Cedar Waxwings and Northern Flickers are other excellent examples.

POLLOn Thursday I had a wonderful trip to Ballarat, Victoria. One of the highlights of the journey was being almost hit side on by a wedge-tailed eagle that took off 50 metres away from a paddock on my left. For a short moment, I feared that she was ...

My wife works at the Greer Library so I went up so we could take some pictures after work. I got a few while she was still at work.

An image I took many years ago at my cottage. It is a Heron ready to take flight.

Immature red-tailed hawk that flew into the side of a young man's truck. He took the time to bring the bird to the vet clinic where we x-rayed it and evaluated it. No broken bones, no obvious injuries, just a very thin young hawk. It readily ate ...

I'm crying. this is the second rose-crowned fruit dove (ptilinopus regina) only I ever saw, & dead as the first one from 3 years ago. she smashed her head in a window pane that is clearly marked to prevent exactly that happening. I will bury her with...

One of my favorite hobbies is birdwatching/photography. Here is a Pileated Woodpecker.

I've been watching birds since my mom and nan introduced me to bird watching as a kid. I developed an affinity for that most elusive of birds early on, the Owl. Any other Owl People out there?

Getting big! The second one was brought to me by the same client who brought me the first. She's pretty sure they're from the same nest. I'm not keen on returning invasive species to the wild but I think that's what's going to happen with these ...

I said I wasn't going to let this happen but.....it happened! Meet Whitey's and Arrow's brood: 4 beautiful mixed-breed goslings that hatched late last night. Whitey (the mom) is 12yrs. old and she and her sister, Goosey, were my first pet geese. ...
