We saw this guy sitting contently at the edge of a temporary pond along a quiet country road. I know grackles have a bad reputation with many but that reputation sure cannot be based upon their looks and what a fine looking guy he is.

Bushtit
We recently have seen a couple of these small guys buzzing about in the shrubs where we like to take an afternoon walk. Not a bird we have the pleasure of seeing very often so their presence this spring has been a treat.

Personality
An early morning conversation with the Stellar’s Jay. Yes I ‘m looking at you looking at me.
Sharp
Sharp plant, sharp Beak, sharp looking Western Meadowlark.
Wilsons Snipe
We spotted this guy patrolling along an irrigated ditch on a quiet country road in last weekend looking for a meal. Such a wonderful and beautiful bird and I sure hope to spot a few more this spring just for the fun of it.
Dried Fruit
A Black Caped Chickadee enjoying a small but tasty dried berry on a warm and sunny April Morning.
Mighty Hunter
Bugs beware as the Mountain Bluebirds have firmly established themselves in the area.
Where the birds call home
Space. We all need it.
Common Yellowthroat
A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
