The wooded hill behind us sustains of vast array of life from all types of birdies including a great horned owl who likes to hoot at 3 a.m., bunnies, the occasional housecat slinking along the ridge no doubt in pursuit of birdies and bunnies, a random deer who made it on the site several months ago, unfortunately but highly likely there are snakes, spiders and bugs, and now a fox! Several weeks ago I caught sight of him and today I caught him on film. Ok, so the pictures are definitely not the best and they do tend to hearken to the low-quality and barely believable Sasquatch pictures and video that people submit, but if you do look closely and squint really hard you can tell it's a fox! Also I had my first visit from a red-bellied woodpecker recently and was able to catch some pictures of him too. Enjoy the pictures! |

Froggyhed had some beautiful visitors to her garden recently in the form of 3 males and 1 female painted bunting. She captured some lovely shots of them and posted them here for us all to enjoy. The visual difference between the male and the female is highlighted especially well as she captured the two of them feeding together. Thanks so much for sharing them! Please click here and proceed through all the pictures. There are also some pictures of a grey catbird at the end of the bunting pictures. Enjoy the amazing coloration of the painted bunting! |

Ok, they haven't actually returned yet, or at least I haven't seen them yet. However, mid-March is a good time to go ahead and put up your hummingbird feeder if you take it down for the winter since the migrators will be traveling through the area and would love to stop in for a break. The regulars will not be far behind, so it's important to welcome them back with an appetizingly full feeder! Remember, hummingbird nectar does not need to be colored red and is made from a solution of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. As long as your feeder contains red on it or even if you have some red flowers or nectar-producing flowers the hummingbirds will come find you! Happy hummingbird feeding! |

Many thanks and apologies to Froggyhed for submitting some beautiful birdie pictures that somehow got in without my notice  . Thank you for sharing them with us and I will try to be more vigilant in the future! Check them out! You will enjoy seeing birdiewordie's first Eurasian Collared Dove and some great shots of chickadees, blue jays, cardinals, wrens, both female and male red-bellied woodpecker, finches and sparrows. Also, Caffeinmachine has snuck some pictures of a red-winged blackbird onto the site that went unnoticed for all too long. Thanks again to Froggyhed and to Caffeinemachine for sharing their pictures! |
