If you really look around there’s always so much to see. Maybe I have my head in the clouds too much, that’s why I love birds...?

This little guy is a Spotted Tussock Moth Caterpiller. Very cute, but don’t touch as the little hairs on them can cause some nasty reactions.

How about a little bird to start the day. This little gal is a Anna’s Hummingbird. She’s a regular at our feeder.

Sitting at a drive through when I looked to my left. I wonder what he was thinking?

Is there anything more fun than being a young dog at the lake? Yahoo I waded in neck deep to get this picture. It lifts my spirits to see her having so much fun.

A couple of sailboats on the lake last night.

Robert having a little afternoon snack. Belle having a swim at the lake. She has a serious stick obsession.....?

Well my apologies. After looking at this picture later on my big computer I realized he’s a Swainson Hawk and not a Red Tail. Enjoy.

What a great start to the day. First a pair of Bald Eagles sitting in a tree and then this Red Tailed Hawk showing off his plumage.

Wow, our garden is late this year because of a really wet spring. Looks great.

These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago. Momma started 11 nests under our deck. She’s in the first picture. She even built a huge one which was kind of funny as it was way to big for her. She eventually built a smaller nest next to it and had 4 babies. They’ve all grown and left. The neat...

Hmm, I wonder who’s been eating all our bird seed?

I’ve got a Nikon D500 with series of lenses. The big lens below is a 200-500. It’s a fantastic set up for wildlife as it has an accurate autofocus system and can take up to 10 pictures per second. Which just means when I make a mistake I get 30 bad pictures instead of 1......?

A few more bird pictures today. This little one is a White Crowned Sparrow A Downy Woodpecker This very cute bird is a Lazuli Bunting. Had to take it through the window as they are very skittish. And the last guy today is a male Canvasback duck.

Good to be back. How about we start the day with a few bird pictures. This first striking fella is a Bufflehead duck. This swallow was nice enough to pose for me on her branch. This is an Evening Grosbeak. Or as I like to call them “Angry birds”.....lol And finishing with a nice fly by from...

This was taken at our old family cabin built in 1955. As you can see the dogs pretty much have free reign. I think the conversation between the dogs went something like this. “There’s that squirrel Stanley. When I give the word we rush him” ?

Hi Tornadic. Thank you very much. I sort of fell down the rabbit hole but I’ve just about climbed back out. You can’t imagine how much your post means to me. Pics to come soon.

Someone’s been gardening again. “Without adult supervision “....?

Now that our weather is warming up its nice to get outside for some photos. Canada Goose Redtail Hawk Mare and her foal :) Northern Flicker

So we finally have a break in the weather and I'm out with the camera. At first I figured this was an Golden Eagle as he was way up there and hard to see. It was only when I loaded the photos on my computer that I realized it's a Turkey Vulture or Turkey Buzzard (my telephoto lens is way better...

So the raven that I took a picture of awhile back of has decided this is a good tree. Much to the chagrin of my dog. I think she wants to be able to fly so she can herd him....lol.

Well the Raven came back and I got a little bit better photo. Being so black it’s hard to get a good focus on them.

Great picture, my mom was an artist but definitely not me.

Man I am jealous of you all that live in warmer climates. Not much of a picture but this is what I woke up to today....? Tomorrow I’m going to have a little chat with Mother Nature and find out where the heck our spring is. Tornadic Thoughts I might have to borrow a couple of those beautiful...
