All about our feathered friends, as well as some of the individual wild birds that I have known for over a decade. I hope to get people more interested in birds realizing just how incredible they are. It's a rewarding experience that connects you with nature!

White-throated sparrow: "OH SWEET CANA β€” haaaawww" . The first one of the year for me was a little sleepy πŸ₯±πŸ˜΄ he yawned a couple times and even softened his gaze for a little. Once a rival came by he was wide eyed and mighty. 😊 This little guy even sang for me, and it's one of the ones who comes to me for food. They are earlier this year. I wasn't expecting to see them until next week.πŸ’› πŸ–€πŸ€

Pumpkin: β€œSo…”
Gabby: β€œWe’ve been patient.”
Both: β€œβ€¦when's the next video?”
I love how Gabby and Pumpkin are looking at me like, "we need to talk", haha!
Happy to say that I do have a video ready for this weekend! :)

I cannot get enough of photographing this sweetie. Floofy the Boreal chickadee is the loveliest chickadee model I've ever had. Everyday, I look forward to seeing him. πŸ€ŽπŸ€πŸ–€πŸ¦

Pumpkin, strutin'. He knows he looks good and isn't even hiding it. The energy Red-breasted Nuthatches emanate is something I've always loved about them. See their adorable big personalities in action https://youtu.be/bc4YPftNMk0?si=TuxYe...

I adore Boreal chickadees...and honestly, I don't think they even try that hard to be this lovable. Those rusty sides and raspy little calls, they just win you over without making a fuss. The first pic is Floofy, a male I began knowing the mid winter and the last 4 photos are of the one and only, Speckle, another male. πŸ€ŽπŸ€πŸ–€
