Wood Thrush

On May 2, 2019April 22, 2019 By Mike and Christy2 Comments

For me the Wood Thrush is a bird I may often hear but seldom seem. Hanging out in those forests deep with green and hidden out of sight they have such a wonderful song. After listening to his song for several minutes this Wood Thrush flew out and landed on a post in a clearing for a minute or two before retuning back into the woods. Love the pudgy belly on this one.

This Greylag Goose is the Queen/King of the local pond and not at all hesitant to hog all the photo opportunities.

The Avocet and the tern: a short story.

On April 23, 2019April 22, 2019 By Mike and Christy6 Comments

Imagine you are an American Avocet enjoying a quiet morning in the pond. A bit of feeding and then a little relaxation then a bit of feeding.

Then without warning a Forester’s Tern makes a sudden and unannounced and dramatic visit to your patch of the pond.

Looks like he got what he was after. Just a brief interruption of an otherwise peaceful morning.
