    Confused Pine Warbler!?

    A Pine Warbler D. pinus that my Mom christened "Babe" (after the pig who believed himself to be a sheep dog) apparently thinks he is a Gold Finch. This beautiful bird that usually stays high in the tree tops (atleast in my experience) descends on my platform feeder and sifts through the...

    Help!

    I have a problem and that problem is none other than the Northern Mockingbird. This beautiful bird is appreciated at my feeders but if it has its way it will be the only thing I have at my feeders! This Mockingbird chases my Wrens, Juncos, and my Downy Woodpeckers away from the feeding station...

    Size Does Matter?

    Today I saw two different hawks that were Accipiters. They both appeared one right behind the other and came from the same general direction. Both of the hawks were in juvenial plumage and had yellow eyes. I was so excited to see them that I only really noticed a size difference in the two. The...

    Bird Word Puzzle

    I was watching Wheel of Fortune and got this idea for a quiz. Each puzzle is the name of a bird. In each puzzle the vowels are already filled in. Each player guesses one letter per turn but anyone can try to guess the puzzle at any point in the game. Until I see how this game is going to work...

    Bird Search 2.0

    Because I have decided to retire my former quiz "Bird Song" I am renewing my old quiz "Bird Search"! In each puzzle is one bird unless the directions say otherwise. Each puzzle is worth two points and every 5th puzzle is worth five! Have fun and good luck!

    A Romp in the Swamp with Bob (my patch)

    First I would like to say that this patch UNFORTUNATELY does not belong to me...however, I asked the land owner for permission so it is all good! My patch is located in Autryville, NC and consists of a small private cemetery scattered with mature pines, oaks, hickories, and sweet gums. If you...

    Northern or Southern Cricket Frog?

    I captured this very small frog today while walking through the swamp behind my house. North Carolina is home to the Northern Cricket Frog and the Southern Cricket Frog and both could be found in the area where I live (I think so anyway) Does anyone know how to tell the two species apart in...

    Sure-Fire Sapsucker Feeder

    Last winter when I wasn't having any luck attracting the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers to my suet feeders I created my own "sap feeder" that these woodies coulsn't seem to resist. First I took a small plastic grain feeder from a hog house that was being bulldozed. Then I took a dremel tool and...

    Fall is Here

    Well...its that time of year again. Summer is starting to come to a close and fall is just around the corner. I really love this time of year because bird activity seems to bounce back from an uneventful lull during the "dog days of summer". Vireos, Warblers, Flycatchers, and many other birds...

    Perigrene Falcon

    For my Dad's birthday I am drawing him a picture of a Peregrine Falcon standing on a dead duck. What do you guys think? I hate the feet but I just can't seem to get the result I want. I also think the head looks a bit weird. BTW this is my first attempt at a bird of prey and when I draw the duck...
