Look at this gorgeous little one!

I only see the song sparrows in the winter... this one has been around for a few weeks now!

Bird Photography Weekly



I've been reading the Bird Photography Weekly posts for quite a few weeks now! Figured I may as well share one of my recent shots. This is of a juvenile Cooper's Hawk during the recent ice storms here in Chicagoland. It was taken in my back yard (from inside the house, where it was much less icy!)

New Bird!

I've got a new bird in my yard today!

A black capped chickadee!

I've always wanted a chickadee :)

The cool thing about chickadees is that they always look fluffy and bouncy and happy. And they hide seeds all over the place and can remember thousands of hiding places. I saw this guy hide stuff in the brush in my back yard - so hopefully he'll be back!

I have really got to clean my windows and remove my screens! I'm missing good bird shots!!
