Here’s little project I have been working on! I’m super happy with the clean outlines, I think they make for a very interesting style 💕

We see Tree Sparrows for basically one day as they migrate to nearby nesting sites to the east. They swoop in (early April), check out a few sites, then they are gone. Looking through my library, I have mostly blur. This is the only shot that I could work with. 500mm at great distance, so highly cropped. There were 5 birds in flight around this one.
Gorgeous birds that feed mostly on insects (on the fly), but will eat a little fruit and egg shells. They will use nesting boxes near water.

A young Cooper's hawk from New Jersey learned to use queuing cars as a cover for surprise attacks on other birds. 🪶🦅

Starting the Swallows (Family Hirundinidae) today. 6 Genera and 8 species in North America. 21 Genera and 92 species Worldwide. These are insectivores who hunt on the fly - and they are FAST,
Violet-green Swallow, nests in much of the West from Mexico to Alaska, overwintering in Central America. Photos by @ZenLady (mine were terrible).

Vocal, Active, Acrobatic. Three words that nicely capture the Tufted Titmouse. Sadly, the last of the Paridae that I have in my photo Library. These are lowland birds, that are common in the eastern half of US. Fun to watch and work with as you hike around the trails in the woods. They will follow along, talking to you as they forage for food - mostly insects (amazing to see them take on a spider) but will also eat nuts and seed. Common in our area, and a common visitor to our feeders.
Volunteer workday today. Not sure what we will be doing so will load up most of the tools. Tuesday nearly finished me off, so hopefully something a little lighter today.

Mountain Chickadees this morning. Their range is limited to the mountainous North America Cordillera. Any migration is limited, and may be driven by food shortage or age (Birds of the World). These are tough birds that can withstand the cold temperatures of the mountains in winter. Late summer is dedicated to gather seeds for winter.

A mute swan decided to taste the weeds right next to me today.
Taken on a 20 year old Pentax *istD with a Sigma 70-300 Macro of equal vintage.
Nature photography on a budget :)

Ambling in the woods nearby, one of the common voices in this region is that of the Carolina Chickadee. A year-round occupant, easily identifiable, gregarious, and beautiful. They lecture me when the feeders in the back yard need attention and sing to hikers along the trails. Masters of survival under the most brutal conditions, they can find food under the worst circumstances. Members of the Paridae Family that worldwide include 13 Genera and 62 species (Birds of the World). Four Genra and 14 species inhabit North America. These are birds of many faces.

Here's some GREAT news: the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched on Valentine's Day! Kākāpō are nocturnal, flightless parrots that are endemic to New Zealand and are critically endangered. Only 236 adult kākāpō are alive today, so every chick is a milestone for the species!
