A black Capped Chickadee sat singing a-dee-dee-dee in the now lost light of a small local woodlands. Even with the sun at high noon this patch of shrubs remains dimly light. Yet when the chickadee sings the forest feels bright.
Mr. Blue
Hello there I’m Mr. Blue.
I see you have birdseed.
Don’t mind if I do.
On the pond
A nice assortment of ducks graced the pond one recent afternoon. All just passing through and very temporary visitors staying just long enough to rest-up and grab a meal on their journey south. Lesser Scaups (both males and females) Red-headed ducks and Buffleheads were present and enjoying a nice afternoon of filtered winter sunlight.
Chicken Dinner
Looks like someone is going to have a nice chicken dinner this evening.
About Time
IT’s finally starting to act like winter around here and and with winter the hardy Mountain Chickadees have moved down the hill and are now keeping us company. It’s the little things that sometimes put the biggest smile on your face.
Illusions
Wether you take the long way around or just jump across.
When you cross the chasm you soon forget you are on the other side.
What Rain?
It rained and it rained and it rained but this Gull just took it it in stride perched on a magnificent weathered log.
Grumpy?
Looking a bit on the grumpy side a Curved Bill Thrasher lets me know he is aware of my presence. Busted again.
Short day-Long Shadows
There’s no escaping and no mistaking this time of year. Early December, high noon, without a cloud in the sky, yet the sun casts long shadows upon a male Red-winged Blackbird with wing-bar colors faded to only a pale yellow. Short days and long shadows. A calendar and perhaps a metaphor.
Evening in Morning
Yes, the sun did rise, and when it did it illuminated the beautiful colors of a Male Evening Grosbeak perfectly.
