  1. Eastern Bluebird

    Eastern Bluebird

    This bluebird was very cooperative, landing in the parking lot of Powder Valley and then flying up to eye-level perches. I'm looking forward to getting out for some bird photography this weekend, though it might be rainy.

  2. Same Robin, Same Snake

    Same Robin, Same Snake

    In this picture he's got more of the snake showing. I think it is a Brown Snake, which would be about right for the size and coloration.

  4. Robin with Snake

    Robin with Snake

    I was amazed to see this robin eating a snake yesterday. I found it with half the snake already gone, and it slowly finished the rest of it.

  5. Female Cardinal

    Female Cardinal

    I'd set up this branch hoping to use the yellow forsythia bush as a background, but the weight of the snow moved it down and a lot of the bush was also covered in snow. Still, some of the background matches her color.

    It's hard to believe that it's the end of March with so much snow around.

    Although I wasn't really happy to see the snow, I got some nice pictures because the birds were eager to use the feeders.

    Mockingbird

    I felt like I was having a shootout with this guy, because I was leaning out from side to side from behind our car trying to get him in our forsythia bush. I didn't get that, but I was pretty happy with this.

    White-Breasted Nuthatch

    The weather is getting nicer here, and this nuthatch was very cooperative. I also saw two phoebes and a brown thrasher, so I'm hoping it will be full spring soon!

    Savannah Sparrow

    This is from a few weeks ago at Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary. There was a whole flock of these guys pecking around by the visitors center.

    American Goldfinch

    I like the way the beak looks kind of metallic. The bird seems kind of out of focus around the edges though, maybe because it's almost the same color as the background.

    Chickadee

    Today was cold and gray and I only took about six shots, but I ended up liking this one a lot. I like how round the chickadee looks.

    Song Sparrow

    I had seen this guy earlier, and was hoping he would stop by by when I was shooting. However, he had a confrontation with with a white-throated sparrow, and I was sorry not to be at an angle to get any good pictures, since he bent over and spread his tail feathers up in the air.

    Dark-Eyed Junco

    Today was very cold and snowy, but I made a cover for my lens and spent quite a while outside. This was taken lying in the snow, using a homemade groundpod that is basically just a board with a screw. I also used a promaster multicoated uv filer to protect the front element from blowing snow...

    The birds were coming to the feeders and to scratch on the ground constantly today. Cold weather here always seems to do that.

    Chickadee

    I took some pictures this afternoon, the chickadees were cooperative, and the angle of the light finally allowed me to get their eyes distinct from the black around them.

    Titmouse

    It was gray and cold with very light flurries today, but there were lots of nice birds around, including several Eurasian Tree Sparrows, and they were really enjoying the bird bath.

    Dark-Eyed Junco

    I had an excellent day yesterday photographing my backyard birds, and I was really pleased with how sharp this one came out. I think it's about a 50% crop, although I wish the background wasn't the sky. Glad to have juncos around again!
