    January Owls in your corner of the world?

    Hi Luke, I find ALL Owls interesting! Thanks for posting. Your Central Park Barn Owl would be nice to see, they are reliable on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts and are always a treat to see. Long-eared Owls always draw a crowd.. keeping both the crowd and the Owls happy is not always...

    January Owls in your corner of the world?

    Another year comes and goes and the Owls, a bit different than last year, are still there to both see and here. Our local CBC turned up a record number of Screech Owls, several Long-eared, many Great-horned, several Barred and a pair of Saw-whet. Snowys were seen a bit earlier in the year with...

    Raptor ID

    I am one of the folks who questioned the id of the top photo and would like to add that young Hawks do give us a few clues to work with and the cameras we are using these days help to point them out. The top photo showing a dark eye along with the arrow shaped spots on the breast points towards...

    Hummer bills...

    These four female Ruby-throated Hummingbirds show quite a range in bill size and deformity. It did help to keep track of who was around and did not seem to slow any of them down.

    Swarovski EL's, how good are they?

    Sorry to hear about your loss Hanno. What an awful way to lose your bins. On a much brighter note..(pun intended..:) If you like light weight, perfect edge to edge clarity, awesome color transmission and a relatively close focus you will love the EL's. The only drawback would be the amount of...

    Baltimore Oriole and Eastern Bluebird Habitat

    Hi Pat, The Bluebirds would like a little more open space but the open land would lend well to their nests not being invaded by House Sparrows. You should put a few houses up and give it a try. Putting out live meal worms as "bait" for the little blue jewels would not hurt at all. I have...
