A FIRST!!! We had a peregrine falcon come to the bird feeders at the back of my house which is surrounded by dense woods. I tried for a photo, but he flew out of photo reach when I grabbed my phone. I have no doubt he would have munched on any of the...

We love our hawks; our neighbors with chickens...not so much. Each Spring the hawks show up and scavenge for frogs in our Koi pond. If you look closely at the photo of the bird in flight, you'll see his/her frog lunch. We arbitrarily named the pair...

The local paper published my barred owl photo! Sometimes I love living in a small town. (Please note, I supplied most of the info for the caption but I would never call a barred owl a "hoot owl". I assume they got that colloquialism from the ...

I stopped by a local pond yesterday and found over 100 mallards and several black ducks. It was late in the afternoon, the light was waning and I couldn't get any good pics. I went back today after work, around 4pm. No black ducks and ...

A flock of 22 wild turkeys came up to scratch around under my parents' bird feeders. Luckily for them I'd just thrown out a bunch of scratch feed and whole corn with the hopes that I could lure birds closer to my GoPro set up. Unfortunately (for ...

A few weeks ago I posted pics of my baby homers. I checked on them today and all the survivors (7 of the 8: I ended up euthanizing the blind one because the vets I consulted thought it was painful) are doing great. Three are flying already--one is ...

My wife and I got up before five this morning to get some BIF pictures. The Osprey and Herons are nesting and some have chicks. The second is a furry bird. The Heron is the first I ever saw at Big Lake at 9,000 feet.
